Two questions Val...thanks

[Guest guest]

Hi Val...

I'm confused about something (so what else is new!). When we stress

dose, and our temps might come up, does that mean that more t3 is

getting into the cells, and then does that mean we should raise our

HC dose in general?

I'm on 27.5 mg HC and I stress dosed yesterday and my temps shot up

by one degree (average). I'm wondering if I should just go ahead

and raise HC?

Second question: I read where you told someone that signs of going

hyper on t3 would include muscle aches. I have noticed since I went

to 112.5 mcg Cytomel that my feet hurt when I hop out of bed in the

mornings, as well as generalized leg achiness and body stiffness.

Just sitting in the movie theater yesterday for two hours and when I

went to stand up, I felt like a 100 year old! Sometimes my fingers

also feel very stiff and tight in the mornings. I did not have this

prior to starting thyroid/hc meds. It's just been in the past month

that I've noticed this....and it coincides with the Cytomel raise.

Thanks,

Naffy

I think it is a good indicator that you are below where you need ot be, so I

would raise it 2.5mg and see if temps come up more consistently.

If your temps stay high it is likely to be hyper, but if they drop back too low,

then hypo. Having been ill I would wait to be sure it is not pain from the

illness.
