Funny to read this tonight, when I was wanting to write and ask about

weight gain and high BP.

Since taking HC I have gained 10 lbs. I feel terribly bloated and think

I'm retaining fluid too. Since I was already 50 lbs overweight and

couldn't lose it, the extra 10 lbs isn't good, and it feels more like a

gain of 20 pounds. Prior to this while overweight and unable to lose, my

weight had been pretty stable for years. So I could console myself that

though I was very fat, at least I wasn't continuing to gain and gain.

As I gradually work up to an optimal T3 dose, will the weight come off,

and will BP and pulse go back to my normal? I've had such low BP most of

my life it is scary to see numbers like 149/87, or 154/89 with pulse in

the high 80s or low 90s.

Could the Hashi's antibodies be making me have more fluctuating symptoms

and a harder time raising or stabilizing doses? Somehow everything feels

weird, and has done since I started adding T3. I just raised from 25 mcg

to 30 mcg today, after 5 days at 25 mcg, a bit fast, but the headaches

were really bothering me. Haven't had a headache today dosing 10-10-10,

mcg T3.

But my temps have gone lower and unstable again, too. Do I remember

rightly that it is normal for temps to do that with every T3 raise?

worried,

Yes antibodies can really mess with you when they are high. As they destroy the

thyroid the bits that are destroyed can release their thyroid hormones in to

your system and make you feel hyper and hypo in a fluctuating manner.

Lower tewmps would indicate adrenal stress, but that is normal when you raise

thyroid. It shoudl stop and come back upto at leats where it was before and

maybe a tad higher wihtin 3-5 days.
