Guest guest Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Do you mean the sinuses are swollen since going down on the HC? I think cortisol controls inflammation so it would make sense that while the body adjusts your sinuses might have inflammation. I have the same thing. I am hoping ti goes away. I don't think it is a T3 thing.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 For me enough T3 is what helped my sinuses clear, probably not until I got up to 75 mcg though...

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 My sinuses have been awful the last few days. I just started the HC about 2 weeks ago, but the last 3 days my sinuses are really irritated and when my sinuses bother me, it makes my ears/jaw ache a bit, too. I hope it doesn't last too long.

In a word yes, low levels of HC can cause allergy effects to become visible Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 The strange thing is I don't have other low HC symptoms like the shakiness during the day, I wake up shaky though because the HC doesn't last long enough. I did go down off the HC slowly, but maybe I should increase the HC again then? If I do increase, by how much would you suggest?Currently taking7am - 5mg10am - 2.51pm - 2.54pm - 2.5bed - 5 (was 2.5, I just increased it) >Could lowered HC cause an increase in allergies or could T3 be affecting me? > I'm taking 50mcg of T3.

I am pretty familear with RT3 and know when an issue is adrenal but not the ideal solution to it.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 oh right, sorry Nick forgot where I was :-) Do you think I should adjust T3 with regards to inflamed sinuses? Increase or decrease? > >If I do increase, by how much would you suggest? >Currently taking > >7am - 5mg >10am - 2.5 >1pm - 2.5 >4pm - 2.5 >bed - 5 (was 2.5, I just increased it) I am not an adrenal person, you are better off taking it to the adrenal group which reopens Sunday morning.
