High temperatures???? If not what are you describing as hyper?

I think you are on the right track, I am wondering if it's all low

night time cortisol. Possibly a larger bed time HC dose will let you

sleep longer with that T3. It may also leave you in a better state in

the morning to tolerate T3.

With that level of HC your own adrenals will probably be shut right

down at the moment.

Thanks, Nick!

When I take t3 at bedtime I wake up six hours later (usually after some scary

dream) with a sudden start.

Last night I took my final 5 mcg. cytomel at bedtime cuz fortot to fit it in by

day. I woke up this morn with a start, but refused to get out of bed so early.

My body was shaking (so I think you're right about the low through=the=night

cortisol) and by the time I took my basal my temp was higher than normal. I was

cold and sweating a bit. So I am assuming my adrenaline kicked in.

The past few days or so I have NOT taken t3 at bedtime and did take large hc

doses in evening and did not wake up with high temps or sweating or shaking.

You say that my temps dipping after an hour of taking t3 is a matter of not

taking sufficient t3? When I took 12.5 mcg at a time my temps dipped deeply so I

reduced to 10 mcg at a time. I do believe you're right in that my body

metabolizes it quickly. I'm not sure how to increase now, take MORE t3 at each

dose, or continue taking 10 mcg at a time but more often by day?

You ask, " High temperatures???? If not what are you describing as hyper? " By

hyper I mean my heart/chest feels tight and funny.

thank you so much for your help! I appreciate it tremendously!

Yep, if you can't take more at a time then bring the timing closer

together to make an increase

That sounds low cortisol to me pushed down by T3 rather than genuine

hyperthyroid, that fooled me for years
