Recent Labs - I'm at 12th week on T3 & I'm feeling bad

[Guest guest]

I started T3 on 10/8.

I had ramped up to 150mcg & felt ok, but weaned down to 125 after an earlier

discussion on this list about higher T3 doses stressing out the adrenals. I

have almost no cortisal production.

So I've been on 125mcg T3 for about 2weeks - dosing:

25 8am

25 11am

25 2pm

25 6pm

25 bedtime

I'm lethargic, slight headache, dry skin, a little brain fog.

My temps arent' getting out of 96s.

I'm tempted to go back to 150mcg of T3.

I recently had labs done, but they drew blood within an hour of taking T3

(didn't know they were going to draw blood).

Free T3 809 230-420

Free Testosterone 1.8 35-155

potassium 4.9 3.5-5.3

sodium 157 135-146

calcium 9.7 8.6-10.2

creatin 0.62 0.76-1.46

bun/creatin ratio 34 6-22

Didn't do ferratin, but it was a good number last year

109 (10 - 232) 8/2009

Carbon Dioxide 18 21-33

Any thoughts?

What should I be looking for with respect to a T3 breakthrough?

Thanks,

C

FUnny I have been taking testosterone for alomst two years and I stil

need my estrogen too so I do nto believe for a minute it just converts

to estrogen. YES testosterone wil undo any dmage done my catabolism from

coritosl. It ialso helps build strong muscles and bone sand I believe

strenghtens adernals. It also lowers insulin resistance alot! Yes I

think you need ot redo the T3 lab and do it correctly but ti is unliekly

to b REAL low wiht it peaking that high.
