Hi

I used to have to take lots of HCl supplements in order to digest my food but

now I get some acid feelings if I take them so it would seem I can manage

without at the moment.

Thanks Val

I hadn't really thought of that cos had a virus earlier in the week and it felt

like an adrenal crash so have taken more recently cos of this plus thought it

might help with the T3 but obviously something is pushing my bp up and I feel

very vascular.

I also had some high bp symptoms before the virus though. Normally I take 2.5mg

Pred on waking, do you suggest I take say 2 mg with 12.5 T3 and no extra h/c and

see how things go?

When I am due to take my next 12.5 T3 around 1 pm should I take say 1 mg Pred

and see what happens?

Very grateful for you help cos I do feel that the T3 is going to be better for

me if I can sort out the dose of steroid.

Currently taking 325mg ferrous sulphate for 3 weeks and am seeing my GP on

Wednesday to request a blood test so will continue on this dose till I get the

result and will post.
