what would you do?

Hi Val,

Just wondering what you would do in my situation. I am still currently on

50mcg/Cytomel and have weaned down to 20mg HC. After speaking months ago (and

consulting w/Dr. Lowe) I went up to 40 HC for about 4 months with the hope of

healing adreanals. I am staying at 20 for awhile since I weaned to 15 HC and was

experiencing the occasional dizzy spell. (That was fun! lol)

Now, my heart rate has stayed at 100 (resting) for the past year- ever since I

had a bad bout w/RT3. I am using celtic salt 2x a day. I am taking my vita c

and a good multivitamin....

I just don't know what to do to get this heartrate down. My doc is freaking out.

(Just had labs done and will begin graphing temps again- though my mid day is

still low at about 98.0)

I have hashi's and if I drop below 50/Cytomel I lose hair and go into depression

mode. I am still tired at this dose, and my body prefers to sleep until 9:30

and even with 9 hrs of sleep wants a nap at 4:00. (Which sounds more adrenal

than thyroid...but after 2 yrs my doc wants me off HC).

Do I continue to wean off HC? What else could be causing the fast pulse? (I was

told HC could be) Prior to meds I was the typical adreanl patient with a resting

pulse of 60 and low blood pressure.
