Twelve Weeks

[Guest guest]

So how does it effect the twelve week mark when you start T3 but then have to

postpone raises for one reason or another, eg, to raise ferritin, or deal with a

hashi's flare.

I started T3 on Jan 10. I knew my ferritin was too low to start raising but

read that it is a good idea to stop T4 and switch to cynomel to try to reduce

more RT3 from being made. I had to stay on 12.5 mcg for a month or so then I

finally got to start raising after iron IVs. Then had some cortisol symptoms

and stopped raising because of that for a week or so, then I had this hashi's

thing.

So I won't be at as high an amount at 8 weeks or 12 weeks than I would if I had

raised without the troubles. Is it more to do with the point when your dose

gets high enough to feel non-hypo then four weeks after that the receptors would

hopefully clear? I might be sounding like a dolt here \

You are on the right track. It's probably about 6 weeks after you get

to a dose that suppresses T4 production. For most people that happens

at about the 6 week mark making 12 in total.

If you only go up slowly then the total time will be longer.
