Re: Still Tweaking to find my Final Dose

[Guest guest]

Congratulations. When did you finally see things going uphill. When you added florinef, got the ferritn up? I have low Aldosterone and am trying to get script to see if that helps and test my Ferritn as suggestion of Val to help me tolerate the T3.

Thanks,

Still Tweaking to find my Final Dose

After giving myself time to get my ferritin back in order (it's now 74), I ran thyroid labs to see where I was at, and here are the results while taking 50mcg of Cynomel:01.05.10 TSH - 0.014 L (range 0.450 - 4.500)01.05.10 T3, Free - 3.7 (range 2.3 - 4.2)01.05.10 T4, Free - 0.17 L (range 0.02 - 1.77)My T3 is the highest it's ever been (or at least since doctors started testing it)...no wonder I feel so much better! But it's still below the top of the range and my TSH and T4 have slightly risen since the last test (0.005 and 0.03 respectively, while on 62.5mcg). My temps are also not yet averaging 98.6, so do you think I should raise a bit when I get my new shipment in? Even if it means super-suppressing my TSH again?My lingering symptoms are neck pain when on the computer and water retention/weight gain. I'm also still dealing with acne and slightly irregular cycles, but I think those are sex hormone related. I think that's it! Overall I'm feeling great - like I finally have my life and health back!

I was one of the lucky people who kept feeling progressively better as I ramped

up on Cynomel. The Florinef primarily helped by making it so I could sleep

through the night (no more night time urination). But getting my ferritin up is

what allowed me to raise the Cynomel to where it needed to be.
