temps and sinus infection question

[Guest guest]

Hi!

I have a sinus infection (the color indicates it...) and have been taking 85 hc

past number of days.

Also, the temps, I check them before taking my cytomel and 30 and 60 minutes

later. The last few days they are dipping after my cytomel dose. I have

decreased my doses from 12.5 mcg to 5-10 because the 12.5 made my temps dip up

to one whole degree.

I now take 5 mcg or up to 10 mcg (I need to fit 45 mcg. into one day) at a

time. Temps still dip after taking it.

I don't know what to do. If I reduce my dose to 2.5 mcg at a time I won't be

able to fit in my 45 mcg. per day.

If I increase my hc I may be able to tolerate my normal amounts of cytomel. But

not sure about taking that much hc.

This morning I took 15 hc upon awakening at 7:15. My basal was 97.0 (this is

lower than my usual)

At 8:15 my temp was 97.3.

At 8:15 I took another 10 hc because I was so cold and wanted to be able to

tolerate cytomel (cytomel warms me up, i feel the warmth coming into my

fingertips after I take it with enough hc).

At 8:15 I also took 10 mcg. cytomel.

Temps half hour later were 97.7

So it took a total of 25 hc to tolerate 10 mcg. cytomel. (my hands are still

cold; I would have needed more cytomel but scared my temps woulda dropped if I'd

taken more)

Sorry about the long post.

Feeling lost.

Thanks so much for your help!

Ha, no wonder my temps went from 97.3 to 97.7; I was sitting still. I got outa

bed and puttered about a bit, and rechecked temps nearly an hour after t3 dose,

and temps are back down to 97.3.

The only way to keep the temps stable or up is by sitting still all day? Why's

it when I walk about my temps go down? Not enough hc to support it? maybe I need

more hc til I get over my sinus thing? But I'm already topping it at 85 hc. So

frustrated.

If it si JUST the tmep dipping I owuld NOT worry abotu it. It may eb the

high cortils is doing this. High cortisol causes T3 to not be used right

so unless oyu hqve OTHER symtooms the temos really do nto count on that

high HC dose.

Thank you Val, my other symptom is 'feeling cold'. I had seen improvement in

this area and now I am having sort of a 'relapse' with my hands feeling cold and

not warming up the way they used to a week ago.
