How much thyroid are you on?

On that tiny bit of thyroid I would suspect you may have low aldosterone

raising your tempos as i have seen this happen to a couple people. But

have you had thyroid blood labs on this low dose?

Yes

in May

fT4 was 0.17 range 0.17-0.42

fT3 was 0.36 range 0.28-1.10

TSH 1.566 range 0.350-5.50

TPO Negative

In November while on 5mg Cortef as well as Thyroid meds

T4 Free Direct was 1.08 limits 0.61-1.76

TSH 0.626 limits .350-5.500

T3 129 limits 85-205

and I just had the Aldosterone test and I cant put my hand on it, but

if anything it looked a little high. Although I will say that I am not

sure I really trust the results because I had a pretty high sodium

meal an hour before hand and something else wasnt right but I cant

remember.

I think my original assyumptin that something else is doing a job on your temps

is right, Ther eis no way that can be enough thyrodi for oyu withthese labs.

Have you ever tried natural thyroid?

No, this is all I have had. I was wondering if maybe what was

happening was that I am taking too much HC. But my morning glucose is

fine, between 94 and 98 usually so.... I must say that this constant

trickle of post nasal drip is driving me nuts. Should I back down some

on the HC maybe? I am taking 10, 10, 10, 5 and was thinking about

going to 10, 10, 5, 5. What do you think?

Thanks,

You can certainly try it but I wouls also think about g3tting on a natural

thyrodi.

Thanks Val,

It occurs to me that those labs are from before I started taking 35mg

a day of HC. Could it be that the HC has made it possible for my own

thyroid to get into my system and that I don't actually need thyroid

anymore? I also feel like I might be getting some belly fat, of course

that could be from eating too much sugar during the holidays. I think

I will back the HC down for now and ask my DR if I can try Armour when

I see him in January. I wish this stuff was easier to understand. Just

when I think I get it, another wrench gets thrown into the works!

Hi ,

I am interested to see what Val says, but 10 - 10 - 10 - 5 doesn't

seem like a good rhythm? (I looked up the spelling!)

Maybe if you broke it up more and went to a 3 hour schedule?
