Re: Re: Basal Temps Good Indicated of t3 status?

[Guest guest]

>I guess I don't understand your reply...I was asking that if my basals are

good, than am I on the right t3 dosage? And that the 3x a day temp mostly

determine whether adrenal function is up to par?

Basal is indicating your " overnight thyroid status "

The " 3 times average " stability from day to day indicated adrenal

performance

The actual value of the " 3 times average " indicates daytime thyroid

status. nominal temperature for the first half the cycle and slightly

higher for the second half is the target.

> How often do you wait after your t3 doses during the day to take your temp? I

mean, right now, I run out of t3 pretty quickly it seems, so often the temps

drop by time 3 hours have passed, but before I've taken my next t3 dose. So it

makes the reading look artificially low. Do you know what I mean? So maybe I

should take my temp 1/2 hour after my t3 dose?

Maybe you need an increase, take more doses during the day

The timing of temperature change tells you what adrenals are up to as

well as possibly needing a T3 dose increase.

For someone fully treated there shouldn't be a cyclic change in

temperature between doses, it should just gently drift up in the day

and down at night (see the web site)

How do you explain my temps Nick? I'm at 37.0 almost every time I measure, and I'm on 25 mcg T3 and 27.5 mg HC at the moment...

With an infection you keep telling us about which may raise your

temperature a little???

Clever. Well... Maybe this is the case. But the temp is SO stable! Hmm! I rarely ever freeze these days too.. Maybe I'm not hypothyroid.. Maybe I just need to quit taking all meds and see what happens. Add Lugols iodine.. It's risky..I was thinking.. Before I get too high on the T3-only, should I quit it now and see what happens?

I would give it 4 months to get everything stabilised and a chance for

RT3 to clear and adrenals to be less stressed.

There is no reason that you can't taper down then and see how you do.

Did you get the Ferritin result or will that be Monday?

GP broke his promise. I'll get the Ferritin + others, on Monday...Thanks Nick. I'll see what I'll do. So far I enjoy the new clarity of my "vision" if  you will. T3-only has done something, at least. I feel naturally out of shape after 2 years of almost no moving my body around!

You sound better, if you read back to some of your posts a few weeks

ago I think you will be surprised how much clearer your thinking is

now
