Should I feel differently when I take T3 or HC?

[Guest guest]

I was wondering why I don't feel any differently after taking T3 or using HC

cream.

It seems a lot of people really notice feeling better. The only time I have

felt anything was when my RT3 cleared and I got a much faster heart rate.

My mood has not improved much and I still have a hard time getting up in the

morning. I'm on 100 mcg of T3, and my saliva test indicated low in the morning

and high at 5 pm, then back down to high normal at night. So I am using

cortisone cream in the morning and at noon (10 mg and 7.5 mg). I don't need PS

anymore in the evening to lower cortisol so I know that is getting better.

My average temps are steady since I switched from Isocort to HC cream, at 98.0

avg. Heart rate averages 82 and stays constant too.

It's been almost a month since RT3 cleared. Is there anything else I can check

to see why I still don't feel as well as I'd like?

Thanks,

H

have you done thyroid labs? Maybe you stil need mroe T3, I

certainly an stil hypo at 100mcg. But not everyone wil be anbd you could

be a tad too hgih so labs would help sort that out. Also is your iron

good? What symptoms remain ?

I haven't done labs since I've been on T3. I could be on too high a

dose and feel tired? My temps are averaging 98.0 or less, so I assumed I wasn't

on too much.

My ferritin was 148 when I checked it in June 09.

Symptoms are having trouble getting going in the morning, lingering depression,

not much motivation, joint aches and pains (stiffness mostly).

The thing that concerns me is my heart rate. I'm afraid if I raise T3 it will

be too high!

How are you dosing that T3. What happens to your temperature through

the day??

Nick I am taking 25 mcg 4 times a day. I missed one of my doses this weekend

and had heart palps as a result. My temperature stays almost the same

throughout the day right now, averaging 98.0.

82 right now, and usually remains the same throughout the day.

I have noticed I am needing more HC cream recently, in the evening. My heart

will start pounding, and when I put a little cream on it stops within 15

minutes. So now I'm doing the cream 3 times a day most days: 10 mg waking, 7.5

mg noon, 5 mg evening (8 or 9 pm).

T3 I dose evenly 25 mcg 4 times a day with last dose at bedtime.

82 is not a bad pulse. Worry abotu it if it happens! Honestly most of us

are NOT athletes nor in good physoical condition which woudl keep our

pulse down in the 70's. Add to that middle age, whiic I certinly am

(maybe beyond just a bit) and 90 is a good pulse for me and I do nto

worry until it starts staying over 100.

Yea I'm 52 and not an athlete, although I have been weight training for 5 years.

But I don't do much cardio cause I've never had the energy. I'm thinking maybe

I need to have my sex hormones checked. I'm still having periods but they're

irregular.

Thanks . I will try a small raise and see if it helps.
