Guest guest Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 If you are at 98.5 now fairly early in the day, you may already be where you want to be. What has your normal temperature been earlier in your life? FYI, volumes of research show, with lots of individual exceptions for various reasons shows that average human temperature is around 98.2, so... Same for pulse. Is it also near where it normally is for you? I haven't seen any earlier messages. What makes you think you have rT3 problem? Have you checked yourself against the list of typical symptoms? You could be iron deficient for other reasons. Lee > > My Rt3 ratio is 11.3 and I've been taking 12.5 mcg cytomel (in two 6.25 doses) while I get my ferritin higher. My last ferritin test was 32 and I just had an iron IV yesterday plus I am taking 168mg of the bluebonnet iron a day. I asked about getting another ferritin test to see how much it came up and my doctor thinks it is unnecessary (that my ferritin would be fine after the IV) and thinks I should start raising T3 right away. I am an eight hour drive and overnight stay away from a lab where I could get the test done myself and can't do that right now. > > I would like to try raising and see how I do so I don't lose the ferritin gain I would have from the IV. I've read Nick's info about how to do increases spread out over the day but have a few questions. > > I understand I should go by pulse and temps to check to see when the next increase should be (when temps and pulse drops) but wonder if I can't handle the increase, what are the worst symptoms and when would they show up? Would I know right away after a dose or does it take days to show? I did read about taking temp before T3 dose and 1/2 hr after and did that this morning. My temp before mid-morning dose was 98.4 and half hour later was 98.5. Is that okay? I also take my basal temp and the temps through the day averaged out to make sure my adrenals are supported (I take HC). > > Any other suggestions about how to monitor things? Or thoughts on this plan? > > Thanks for any help ) > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 " FYI, volumes of research show, with lots of individual exceptions for various reasons shows that average human temperature is around 98.2, so... Same for pulse. " Volumes? Show me and I will debunk them. Sorry but this is disinformaiton that has happened since hypothyroidism becamee an epidemic. Sure you average 100 peope temps tht 7/8th are hypo you WILL come up wiht a lower " normal " temp. But why them 50 years ago was 98.6 a normal average? Has our body temp come down? Many emzyme actions in the body do not work below 98.6 and are very specific to that temp which proves lower is NOT normal. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
