Re: Armour and high body temp

[Guest guest]

I *think* I've had this happen - I'm not consistently around 37,

but I think hypoT probably does something to the centers in the

hyopthalamus that give us the impression of " being cold " or " being

warm " - which can vary a lot from what temp we actually ARE - I can

be at 97.5 (F), and still feel " normal " , or I can be at 98.1 and feel

" cold " - despite not usually feeling cold at that temp.

Do scientists understand how the hypothalamus regulates these

subjective feelings? It doesn't seem like it would be connected

directly with the TSH loop, or the temp and subjectivity would be the

same it would seem. Unless you have TSH receptor resistance, or the

gland simpy can't produce as much T3/T4 at a given level of TSH as it

used to (before hypoT). But with optimal treatment, TSH should be

" normal " (1-2, or whatever)

It might also be that your cells/brain just aren't used to a

normal amount of T3 again after only 3 weeks, or it might be a

" thyroid dump " of T3 into cells. This *might* not directly affect

body temp (immidiately), depending on what the cells do with the T3

once it's inside them (if the mitochondria can down-regulate it' usage)
