Hey Nick or Val! When to start HC and help with AF symptoms.

January 23, 2010

I am very new to this forum and looking for some good advice!

I was just diagnosed hypo and had all my labs done. I have high RT3 ratio and

AF. Should I start HC 2-3 weeks prior to T3, as per STTM book? OR, start HC

and T3 together?

Been feeling @#$@# crappy....why?! Also major brain fog. In the past, have

tried to add dessicated adrenals (didn't know I was hypo-T), when I did, a few

days later, I experienced major anxiety and 'roid rage' and thought that I had

too much adrenal. My ND said that my liver was not processing out the adrenals

but now I think, and need help deciding, that all I needed was some T3 to

increase T3. Is this what other Reverse T3 and AF people experience when they

need to increase their T3?

I really need help, PLEASE

Thanks!

Hello and welcome. If you've not already looked round here this is a

good place to start

The recommended process is to start graphing daily average

temperatures as per the instructions on the web site. The stability of

these from day to day indicates the state of your adrenals. If they

are unstable then start increasing the HC while monitoring temperature

until they stabilise and only then start T3

You also need to get Ferritin checked, if it's not between 70 and 90

you will probably not be able to tolerate enough T3.

It can take a LOT of iron to bring that up high enough,

If you post your recent labs here someone will have a look at them for

you and make some suggestions
