Guest guest Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I am just wondering if I'm expecting too much too soon? My adrenals were depressed all levels, my thyroid is very undertreated (below range ft3, top of range ft4, high rt3. I stopped T4 meds 2 weeks ago and am up to 15mcg T3 a day. What I just don't understand is how being on 35mg HC is doing absolutely nothing for me. I feel like I'm taking a sugar pill. I am so exhausted and weak and fatigued that I can barely move. All I do is wait day after day for something to get better. I expected the HC to make at least a little dent in how I feel. I keep entertaining the idea of Medrol based on Chris's recommendation. Maybe it is what I need even though i don't know how to convince the doctor to give me a prescription. I just cannot continue like this. It has been extremely awful since January where I can't function. I have 3 kids to raise and lay in my bed all day. My temps are still unstable. For instance, since adding the 5mcg to my 4pm HC dose, my temps these past 3 days: 97.4, 97.3, 97.1 This was before adding that last dose: 97.3, 97.5, 97.6, 97.8, 97.4, 97.7 Thank you for any thoughts/comments.
