Re: not enough t3 or not enough hc?

[Guest guest]

Update: I checked temp half hour after the 96.9 and it came up to 98.0 so that

looks promising

I have taken 10 mcg. t3 now (not waiting til noon) and will see if temps dip or

stay the same.

shouldn't that prevent my temp from dropping? Had I taken some t3 would that

have helped or would it have made my temps dip even more?

Try taking the T3 with the 8am HC dose.

Exertion without some T3 top up will use up T3 levels quickly

Hi Mirium

I am one of the other people who needds high HC (I think you do as well,

right?).

I just found out that my ferritin is low again, which I think is one thing that

is making me need more HC. Actually after taking iron for a couple of days I am

already able to go down a little on HC and tolerate the thyroid meds better with

less high heart rate. I still need tons of HC and mostly have a high HR but I do

think the ferritin is contributing. Have you had yours checked lately?

Good luck

Liz

My ferritin is a problem indeed.

My hemoglogin has come up to good levels, as well as hematocrit, but my ferritin

is a stubborn little something. Have been ill for awhile and I think I have

finally come out of that (been there since late December).

Nick , I want to tell you your advice worked! Yesterday and today i have been

able to tolerate t3 in the morning! I take 10 hc upon awakening and 10 hc an

hour later together with 10 mcg. t3. I have also arranged for someone else to

take my son to school so I don't have to go outside in this bitter cold and

staying home helps me avoid this whole temperature dipping as well.

So glad you suggested taking t3 with my second morning hc dose!
