Can't raise basal temps - repost

[Guest guest]

Hello

I'm reposting this because my original thread was hijacked.

Val, could you explain to me how I've managed to end up taking so much T3 but

without increasing my temps, please? And also, how will I know when I'm on

enough HC and T3? I'm so confused now and I don't know what to do.

Thanks, Jane

Hi Val. Thanks for replying. I'm taking a generic t3 prescribed by my uk gp.

It's manufactured by Goldshield. I had some cynomel arrive today from Mexico.

Should I reduce the t3 or the hc first? How will reducing either or both of

these get my temps to rise? Thanks for your help, Jane

Hello

I'm on week 16 of T3 only. I'm taking huge amounts of T3 (200mcg T3 a day) but

still can't get any temps over 36.3. What can be going wrong? I'm taking 40-45mg

HC a day. At the week 7 mark, i had dreadful hypoglycemia so upped the HC to the

45ish I'm currently taking, and that got rid of those symptoms.

If it was HC or ferritin, wouldn't I have other problems than just not being

able to increase my basal temps? I don't suffer with anxiety or anything like

that. I can't lose any weight and still have brain fog. My sleeping has

improved. My last set of blood tests were screwed up by the clinic. They did

manage to let me know my TSH was very suppressed, but that's to be expected.

I'm taking the T3 every three hours and the HC every two hours.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Jane
