Re: Oh one more thing w/weaning down from 8 pills to 5 erfa pills 60mg

[Guest guest]

Again, Dorie, one sleepless night is not a sign to lower your thyroid

dose. Many people cannot take their iodine later in the day because it

gives them energy that keeps them awake. Once you get used to this new

level of energy, you may find that you can sleep well again even taking

iodine later in the day. First try taking the iodine in the morning all at

once.

The reason to avoid lowering your thyroid meds is that it sounds to me like

your body is finally coming out of its slumber and lowering the meds would

retrigger the slumber. Unless you have other hypEr signs than one

sleepless night.

I myself eagerly stopped my thyroid meds when I had a couple of high energy

days after I'd started the iodine, but that was a mistake. It only set me

back.

wishing you a happy new year,

Oh , thank you so so much for responding to me email.

I will take your advice and take all 4 iodoral in the AM. And I will stay with

the erfa and cytomel. You dont' think I should cut the erfa back to 4 from 5?

Since I was told I had Rt3 of 12 once and 15 another time.

Thank you again and I wish you and your family a happy and healthy new years!

Maybe just maybe after 10 years of suffering maybe the iodoral will help me get

back to a normal human being instead of a home bound prisoner.
