Bump with update

[Guest guest]

So you think just leave the HC alone? It's just crazy how my days can be so

variable, one day lots of mental energy, motivation and feel so good I cannot go

to sleep for hours, a few days later the fog is back again or palps start up and

I can hardly stay awake. I really seem to get a low in the early evening, so I

was wondering if the front loaded HC was bottoming me out later in the day. I

know that there is a lot going on with each adjustment of T3. I am just trying

to understand from my symptoms what needs to be done. I think that I have

figured out that I squirt adrenaline when I am hypo more so that when I am low

cortisol. Does that make sense? It seems like whenever I need to raise my T3 I

get the pounding heart at different times of day and wake up at 2-3 am with a

sweat and pounding. I thought that my last increase eliminated the palps too,

but they came back today. One thing for sure, the bedtime dose of T3 helps me

sleep better.

I will try to figure out a way to spread out the t3 into more and smaller doses

but with the iron and eating it will be hard. I do all of my cytomel bits until

they dissolve under my tongue, and I am sure that my stomach is not always

empty, so variability in absorption may not be helping either.

UPDATE:

SO, yesterday I spread out my cytomel into smaller doses every few hours. I

kept the HC the same except I changed the times from 730/1030/130/530 to

730/1100/230/600 to see if it would help the afternoon and evening dive. I also

stress dosed an extra 5 of HC at 1:00 just to see what it would feel

like....would it help my brain fog. I think it may have, I don't know. It

didn't help the palps. But what happened is that I wasn't as sleepy at bedtime

and I was back to waking up in a sweat every 2 hours all night. The previous 2

nights I was exhausted at 9:00 and slept like a rock. Any idea why the changes

I made caused me to have lower cortisol during the night, if that indeed is the

reason this happens. I had been convinced it was a hypo symptom because it

seemed to get better when I increased the cytomel although the evening

sleepiness got worse too. Is it possible that I am taking too much HC and

suppressing any of my own production? DO I need to take more or less? Do I

need to cut back on cytomel? I am so confused and growing weary and losing

confidence in what I am doing to myself.

BP still good and pulse now increases with the slightest bit of activity

although laying in bed it is still in 60's.
