Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 I can't always take temps as I work during the week from 1-6 in an air-conditioned store. It makes taking temps hard to say the least. I'm on 100 mcg. cynomel and want to make sure my adrenals are well supported during this increase stage. What do you think? Add another 5 mg. to my third dose at around 5 o'clock? That would put me at 35 mg. per day. Thanks! Alayna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An air conditioned room shouldn't affect your core temperature, readings will still be relevant looking for stability from day to say.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Nick, Do you mean I should just be able to take my temp even if I'm cold and my feet and hands are cold by being in this air-conditioned environment. If that's the case, I'm way hypo because my temps would be soooo low if I took them feeling like that. When my hands and feet are cold (especially my feet), I can be rest assured that my temp will be pretty darn low. Not trying to be a smarty pants at all but if I was playing in the snow, nose dripping and red cheeks and then took my temp, would that still be a fair and accurate core temperature reading?? It's hard to take my temps three times a day when your busy but I don't think it would hurt me to take more HC correct? Thanks so much, Alayna > > >I can't always take temps as I work during the week from 1-6 in an air-conditioned store. It makes taking temps hard to say the least.

If that's the case, I'm way hypo because my temps would be soooo low if I took them feeling like that. Your body regulates temperature and your core temperature should be constant. Oral temperatures should be steady regardless of ambient temperature. Don't take it just after strenuous excercise or hot/cold drinks but apart from that it should be pretty constant. >It's hard to take my temps three times a day when your busy but I don't think it would hurt me to take more HC correct?

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 OK Nick so if your temps go down with being in cold weather or in an air-conditioned environment what does that mean? More HC? Mine are definitely affected by cold. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 >OK Nick so if your temps go down with being in cold weather or in an air-conditioned environment what does that mean? More HC? Mine are definitely affected by cold. First make sure it is temperature dropping and not just the thermometer being cold and cooling your mouth. Move it from one side of your mouth to the other half way through taking temperature. Otherwise it's either more HC or more T3 needed. If temperature drops within 30 mins of taking T3 then it's probably lack of HC. If it's not affected by the dose of T3 then maybe more T3, what's your pulse rate??

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Nick, I still can't get stable temps so should I go up on the HC and if so how much? I currently take 10, 10, 5 and 5. Should I go up 2.5 or another 5 and if so, the 3rd dose which I take about 4pm? Thanks Nick, Alayna > > I can't always take temps as I work during the week from 1-6 in an air-conditioned store.
