Temps, Labs and Symptoms Not Jiving...Help Appreciated

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I'm in a strange situation. I was having horrid headaches and terrible brain fog

plus energy crashes mid day, which I think are hypo symptoms. I was only on 37.5

mcg t3, so I'm not surprised about having hypo symtpoms.

So I bumped gradually up to 75 mcg and my symptoms improved (although did not go

away entirely by any means). I would raise again BUT my temps seem to be good.

I'm in the luteal phase and my basals are rock solid 98.5 every single day and

have been for over a week (even before

I raised to 75 mcg) and my daytime average is 98.8 the past 3 days and averaged

99 today BUT I have a HORRID headache again!

My most recent labs were:

Feb 25 -- 37.5 mcg t3

ft3 295

rt3 15

ratio 19.6

March 15 -- 75 mcg t3

TSH .76

ft4 .5

ft3 249 (230 - 420) !!!

rt3 not done but shouldn't be higher than before at 15, which makes my ratio

terrible.

I couldn't believe my ft3 is so low with my temps being fairly decent.

Also, my ft3 is lower now than it was when I was on 37.5 t3. Is that due to my

ft4 lowering? I didn't test my t4 in February but it would have to be lowering

if I went from 37.5 t3 to 75 t3.

So should I bump the t3? All I can think is my progesterone is making my temps

look higher than they really are.

THANK YOU,

Kathleen
