Well see, that's where I question this one size fits all " optimum

blood range. " And I think that's why Val always asks about temps and

BP and other symptoms, because lab values aren't the end all, as

shown by the dichotomy in some people's saliva and blood. If I

already hit 98.8 on 1.75 grains, what would my temp be if I pushed

for top of range T3? With a FT3 of 304, figure I'd have to add at

LEAST another grain, don't you think? Any comments Val?

Please report back tomorrow. DH's moving his thyroid dose back from

10:30 to midnite tonight, to see if that helps with the waking. If

not, tomorrow's Friday, so I might add another 1/8 grain to his

bedtime dose and see how that works.
