Re: Nick, Val: sad, confused, lower temps after t3

[Guest guest]

It usually means your cortisol is too low to acommodate the t3 you've just

taken. BUT you are already on so much HC, I cannot advise you to take more.

Hopefully Val or Nick will chime in here, but if you need this much HC to

tolerate t3, I would seriously start looking for some other issues going on,

especially if you are feeling hot, unwell, etc. This is exactly what happend to

me last year and I couldn't understand either why I needed SO much hc (50 to 70)

to tolerate t3. Well, turned out I had mono and didn't even know it! Since then,

it's been struggle to get the viruses in check but once I started to work on

that, it's still not pefect, but I don't need mega doses of HC anymore and have

started the t3 again without so many problems.

Talks about that and lots of other things.

It tends to mean low cortisol at that time of day

so should I increase my HC even MORE? I'm already taking 10 mg every two hours or so.

, that's very interesting what you wrote. I'm not sure I can ever take t4

because it just converts to rt3. In fact, I make plenty of t4 naturally, but it

won't convert!

At any rate, given what you said below, what do you think of the sustained

release t3? I know most don't like it here and even I am not sure about it, but

it is really a pain to take the cynomel in such tiny doses many times a day.

Then again, I have to take the HC 4 times a day anyway.

How many times do you dose?

Thanks,

Kathleen

Oh, you know, I think I remember now -- us talking about having to dose every 2

hours. I think you're right about T3 does speed everything up. When I was just

taking Iscort and then HC by itself, I only dosed 3 times a day, 4 hours apart.

I'm worried about trying to get the dosing right on sr t3. I'm having enough

issues as it is right now! But I guess what's the point if I have to take the HC

every 3 hours anyway. ;-)
