Guest guest Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 1) First of all, what is the CYTOMEL for for? Also, I don't think I have EVER had a slow heart rate,(fast at times, if anything) and yet I still have the other signs of hypo. Does this follow suit with plain old hypothyroidism, or is something else definitley going on here? I don't get cold either, only have severe heat intolerence. I am on 3 1/4 grains my temps are up to about 97.8. I am still trying to up my thyroid. Should I be doing this even though my heart rate is around 78 at rest? ~Inga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you get near your optimal dosage you need to go much slower on increases so you don;t go past it and actually go hyper. With your temp & heart rate that high, I would stay right where you are and see if after a few weeks your heart rate doesn;t slow. If it does not you probably shouldn't go much higher. *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Fat cat? Diabetes?
