Does adrenaline affect T3 cellular transport?

[Guest guest]

....like cortisol does? I have googled quite extensively but haven't found a

definitive answer, and am just theorising that it fits my situation.

After posting yesterday that my temps are steady but low, this afternoon they

have shot up, so far peaking at 99.1. Heart rate is in the high 80s but an hour

ago was over 100. This same thing happened a couple of weeks ago, I thought it

must be an RT3 clearance and cut back for a couple of days and then my temps

went back to their regular peak of 98.5-6 in the early afternoon.

Quick recap - I had cleared RT3 and was doing well on a combination of T3 plus

three-quarter grain natural. Then I got the flu before Christmas and was hit

with both low cortisol symptoms and return of hypo symptoms. Over a few weeks my

temps stabilised but stayed just a bit too low and did not respond to a T3

raise, with continuing hypo symptoms. I figured that the stress of being ill had

caused the T4 in the low dose of natural to turn to RT3, and so dropped the

natural about a month ago and went to all T3.

Since then I have been unable to figure out whether I have low cortisol or RT3.

On Val's advice I have ordered a cortisol test. But what is going on with this

going hyper on and off? Is it possible to go temporarily hyper from repeated

small RT3 clearances, or are my adrenals intermittently pumping out big surges

of adrenaline (or cortisol for that matter) that lets pooled T3 into the cells?

Thanks, Lucy

Both are possible but my guess is it's more likely the second.

Val has mentioned adrenaline raising temperature in the past, I don't

know the mechanism though.

Thanks Nick. Yes that is my gut feeling too. I do suspect I still have some RT3,

but I didn't get anything like this while clearing it the first time round.

It does seem at least plausible that adrenaline could be a factor in T3 getting

into the cells, given its other similarities to cortisol.
