Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 My myxedema is mostly on my thighs, back and upper arms. It is weird that I cannot pinch the skin there as it comes up very thick. My skin is not the same as the rest of my family. I had hoped the myxedema would be gone by now, but I still have it with it despite being on 100 mcg T3 for several months. One other thing, I could not get my temps normalized and have been struggling with what to do. Every time I increased past 100 mcg T3, I would get the wired, racy feeling. My HC dose is stable at 37.5 mg. So yesterday, I tried dividing my doses of T3 even smaller, as in 12.5 mcg per dose. It has helped now, as I had a 98.5 temp twice yesterday. I guess having weak adrenals for over 20 years contributes to this problem as well as being at Stage 4 when I started this process. I am very thankful for the continuing help of this forum as I would be totally bedridden without it!! Thank you Nick and .

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Deb it is possible your HC dose isnow too high. Once RT3 clears OFTEN you ewill need to reduce HC to get the thyroid working effectively. RT3 causes major adrenal stress and once it is gone the HC needs can drop dramatically and so fast we go directly from low cort symtpoms to high and can;t tell the differnce, High cortios also causes that edemous feeling to the skin. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Val, Can there be mixed high and low cortisol at different points? Or would that point to now being Stage 3 or 2? I definitely cannot go off to test, though. Thanks for the reply. I will try to go to every 4 hr.dosing. But I still have low cortisol symptoms at times. A very distinct symptom for me is getting a song stuck in my head, which goes away with a HC dose. Happened yesterday and then early this morning. I also suspect Diabetes Insipidus and am going to a doc next week, so this may be throwing things off. This stuff is so complicated. As I look back over old labs, I see warning signs which weren't heeded by my doc because of " being in range " and I only know now from what you have shared (i.e. potassium of 135, glucose of 64 at several points) that these aren't good.
