It is quite safe to take more T3.

Then I might try doing that sometime in the next few days!Val, do you know why my "jumpy/restless" legs start aain now at 1:30 am? Looking at my latest electrolytes, high calcium is the only thing, as well as high magnesium, which is off-range. Potassium is at 4.3 which is not too high. Maybe the banana I ate today brought it over the top? I have no idea what's going on with my muscles!

High potassium wil lnot happen fro a banana. And it is unlikly to cause

this anyway but the calcium could be.

There may be more to it than this but, there is phenomenon called,

" compensation " that sometimes occurs, often within one day, of an upward change

of dosage. It is a recurrence of symptoms as the rT3 sort of bounces back. Keep

taking the new dosage and see if you rebound. In the longer run, when you reach

the level that is therapeutic for you, you will no longer compensate. See Nick's

description of when you hit that 'sweet spot'

I take a new FT3 blood sample? Just to be sure nothing is pooling?

Thanks, Lee! I've heard about this! It's all very interesting, and scary at the same time! I haven't upped my dose yet. Still on 35 mcg T3, This is day 8 on my 35 mcg T3 dose. It's hard to tell with my chronically infected tonsils, sinus infections and all, but I think this means I need mroe T3!
