RE: T3 or back to NDT

[Guest guest]

Hi Hannah, did you ever actually get the 24 hour adrenal

salivary profile done to see where your DHEA and cortisol levels lie at four

specific times during the day, or are you just guessing that your adrenals

can't handle T3. If you have not had this test, I would seriously consider

getting this done and then you can work from there. Isocort I understand is

supposed to be stronger than Nutri Adrenal Extra but not as strong as HC and if

the high dose of Isocort is not helping, it does sound as if you might need a

course of HC to really boost your adrenals.

How much iron are you taking and are you taking this with large

doses of vitamin C such as 5/6000mgs? Also, are you concentrating of using

foods that are rich in iron?

I'm having a bad time of it. I'd switched to T3

only several months ago as I was getting toxic on 2 1/2 grains Erfa even though

I felt a bit better. It left me with high irregular pulse and generally feeling

strange.

The problem I've got is that the same thing is happening on the T3 - I've 3

times now got up to about 30mcg and get the same symptoms.

I don't think my adrenals can handle T3 at the moment as I can't take HC and so

am on quite a large dose of Isocort.

Is NDT generally easier on the adrenals? I'm thinking of going back to it even

if I have to be on a lower dose for the mean time.

I've been off T3 for about 3 weeks now at Dr Ps advice but can't cope with not

being on anything at all.

It's so hard to know what to do for the best in this situation. I'm covering

all other bases and have been working on my ferritin for about 4 months now.

Will get it tested again soon.

Any thoughts?

Hannah
