Re: Anything to help speed up resistance clearing?

[Guest guest]

Wendi,

I gained weight suddenly on the T3 protocol, in the 3rd week after 1 week T3

only. It has risen more since then, too. I may have gained a bit more after I

started HC at the 12 1/2 week mark. I'm now starting to feel better at 5 months

out, but the weight and edema hasn't budged yet.

This happened to me on the new Armour, then improved on NT but was the very last

symptom to improve.

So I'm trying to be patient for a while longer as I am still tweaking things and

don't yet have optimum temps.

Not to discourage you--but you aren't alone.

muscular frame has disappeared to a 160lb blob. I eat very low carb so I guess

none of this is going to go away until the resistance clears.

Hi Kitty,

Thank you for your reply, but I am so terribly confused now! So what you are

saying is that before, my T3 was pooling in my blood, now it is being used and

basically my thyroid is not able to keep the production high enough now to keep

up with my T3 needs? Causing my TSH to go up? i.e. meaning I may have to be on

T3 all my life now?!

How does all this fit in with RT3?! I didn't think I was hypothyroid as such,

just that I had high RT3 (possibly due to my extreme yo-yo dieting in the past 5

years!). So I was just hoping to go on T3 for 4 months or so to clear the

receptors and come off of it. Could I really actually be hypothyroid now

though?Or could this still be an RT3 issue that could possibly be resolved?

Thanks again!

Low cortisol and low ferritin cause the T3 to pool in your blood, yes.

Now that you are supporting the adrenals your body is using up the T3 so that you need more so T3 will go down on tests and TSH will go up.

As for being on thyroid meds forever... not sure if the thyroid can 'heal' like adrenals can. Do you have Hashi's?

Depending on how long your thyroid was compromised is the amount of time it would take to heal I guess, I don't have a thyroid anymore so haven't really looked into that aspect of it! If you have Hashi's and it went a long time without treatment than the thyroid would be damaged permanently to some extent.

Hope that helps a bit!

Hi Kitty,

Yes, that does help, thanks! Yes, I have hashi's, but antibodies below the

limits. But I was wondering - could it be possible to have a perfectly

functioning thyroid, but just too much RT3 due to low cortisol/low ferritin or

whatever? Or does it mean that if you have high RT3, your thyroid gland is

definitely not functioning well?

Have you read the RT3 faq site? I don't have it with me right now, am at work...

From my understanding the RT3 is your body trying to down regulate metabolism due to factors like low cortisol and low ferritin. It doesn't want the T3 so instead of converting T4 to T3 it converts it to RT3 to block the usage of T3. I hope that makes sense... I am still new to the whole thing! I would assume over time if the thyroid gets better and the adrenal/ferritin issue is resolved then you wouldn't need any thyroid hormones. Though I think that once you have Hashi's you have to stay on the hormones to keep the Hashi antibodies suppressed.

Hang in there everyone!! I say that to myself too.

Although I feel crappy I am still able to do some hiking for my job -I am a

forester but some days I just don't have it in me....Office days can be worse

because it is hard to concentrate!

I am only into week 2.5 but I am getting worried about going too high on my T3

and having a terrible reaction when the resistance clears.... How high is too

high? I am going to 55 mcg of Cytomel tommorrow. I will slow down my upward

trend if I must......More doesn't seem to make me feel better It just keeps me

functioning if I can call it that!

Thanks for the experiences everyone . . it is nice to have company even though I

wish you weren't here!

Well I had some serious resistance and got all the way to 250mcg before

it cleared at 12 weks, Iyt was unpleasant for a day but the very next

day I took 50mcg and was fine.

Sorry to butt in. But Val what were your temps and pulses like before you cleared. Dad is on about 200 at the moment with about 3 weeks to go. still low temps and I think he could take even have more.

Well I had some serious resistance and got all the way to 250mcg before it cleared at 12 weks, Iyt was unpleasant for a day but the very next day I took 50mcg and was fine.-- http://nthadrenalsw eb.org/http://health. groups.yahoo. com/group/ NaturalThyroidHo rmonesADRENALS/http://faqhelp. webs.com/http://health. groups.yahoo. com/group/ RT3_T3/http://www.thyroid- rt3.com/http://groups. yahoo.com/

My pulse wasin the low 100's but had been there since before I started

T3 as I had sodium and potassium issues. Now on my 125mcg dose ti si in

the 85-90 range.

Hi Wendi

The reaction is not that bad. My sister had her clearance 2 days before 12 weeks. I rang her ona Monday and asked her how she was feeling and she said that she had been feeling hot all weekend. I said have you checked your pulse and she had not. My sister is a bit dumb when it comes to these things. Anyway her pulse was 110 at 4 in the afternoon. So I told her not to take any t3 for the rest of the day. Start with a low dose next day. I think she was hyper for 3 days before she realised what had happened she lost 3 kgs.

Me I went hyper 2 days later with a pulse of a hundred when I woke up. We were both taking 100 mcg of t3 at the time.

As Val said she went up to 250. My dad is on 200. Your only in the very early days. Your body would still be making some t3.

Hang in there everyone!! I say that to myself too. Although I feel crappy I am still able to do some hiking for my job -I am a forester but some days I just don't have it in me....Office days can be worse because it is hard to concentrate!I am only into week 2.5 but I am getting worried about going too high on my T3 and having a terrible reaction when the resistance clears.... How high is too high? I am going to 55 mcg of Cytomel tommorrow. I will slow down my upward trend if I must......More doesn't seem to make me feel better It just keeps me functioning if I can call it that!Thanks for the experiences everyone . . it is nice to have company even though I wish you weren't here!Wendi> > >> > > From what I have heard, yes this is a bit of a waiting game.

I don't feel any worse or better...... I made the mistake of standing on my scale this morning and my 140lb muscular frame has disappeared to a 160lb blob. I eat very low carb so I guess none of this is going to go away until the

(increasing about 10 mcg per week)split 5 times a day. I don't feel any worse or

better...... I made the mistake of standing on my scale this morning and my

140lb muscular frame has disappeared to a 160lb blob. I eat very low carb so I

guess none of this is going to go away until the resistance clears.
