Re: How high to go? Bump to Val or Nick, please

[Guest guest]

Hello. I'm replying to bump this message as your info below sounds just like my

situation and I'm interested in people's take. Thanks & #8626;

> I am trying to fix my R-t3 issues but am currently on what I think is a high

dose of generic cytomel (Paddock)- 140 mcg- 35 mcg 4 times a day.  This morning

my basal temp was 97.5.  It has risen from 96 in general.  I am never 98.6- at

anytime, ever.

> My ferritin is abiout 50.  I take rhodiola rosea to support my adrenals (I am

working with a ND).  My blood pressure has gone lower (117/74 last night) and my

pulse has risen from about 64 (on lower doses of t-3) to 72.  I am on

hydrochlorothiazide for high blood pressue but feel I could easily go off (I

have been on for 10 years).  I do not feel hyper at all except I felt my heart

race once walking up a hill.

> So my questions....

> How high of a dose do people generally need to fix their r-t3 issue?

> I am obviously REALLY resistant.  Should I go any higher? 

> Is there a limit as to how high you should go?

> How will I know my body is correctly using t-3?  What will it feel like?

> Thank you.  I was on slow release t-3 for almost a year- up to 120 mcg.  I

felt better, but the problem was not fixed.  I have been on cytomel since Dec. 

I am ready to get this fixed and get a decent metabolism.
