This is strange

[Guest guest]

I am pretty sure I am still hypo and only on 80mcg t3. I had a bad day and got

angry. I took my temp and it was 99.2 for an hour or two. I wasn't hot but my

heart was pounding more than usual. Since my temps were high, is this just

adrenaline and a blood sugar rush and my cortisol is not low? Actually, I think

my cortisol may be a tad high--I'm working on it. Usually in a situation like

this, my temps have dropped.

I think that if your cortisol is high it can rush the T3 into your system really

fast. I wonder if that is what is happening?

Val told me that once, I think...

Could be adrenaline, could be cortisol produced when you got stressed

got more T3 through into your cells.

Probably the clue is in the " recovery time " . An adrenaline rush should

be pretty short lived. If it was cortisol getting T3 through then it

is more likely to last a few hours and you will be calmer feeling but

have clarity and energy.

Think back on it and see if you can work it out.

If it was low cortisol then splitting your 80 across more doses of

less each (spreading the same amount thinner through the day) may well

leave you feeling better

So, maybe my body is producing cortisol now after 2 years of HC? The feeling lasted for awhile so maybe I just flooded myself with t3. I don't know. I didn't stress dose yesterday and my basal temp this morning was 98.0. I still feel hypo though so I am thinking of a small raise. If I have high cortisol, I suppose it is eating up my t3 too fast, makes sense.My heart beats hard and I've always thought that was low cortisol or low sodium but stress dosing or increasing never helps so I am hoping it's just hypo. I'm scared to increase t3 because of the 99.2 temps yesterday. It's weird to me that I wasn't hot.

Try it and see, the fine tuning is on " how you feel "

My pulse was a lot " harder " when I was on natural and had RT3 than it

is now I am on T3 with resistance cleared. I am guessing that

corresponds to a lower blood pressure but have no numbers for it.
