My own testo is also low, that must be addressed. I'm in the process of raising

my own, I think low testo is a big contributor to weakness and fatigue.

My progesterone was also low, I was on progesterone cream and it did not work, I

am now on sublingual troches, which DO work.

The other thing that needs looking at is cortisol. Too high or too low will

mess up T3 utilization, too.

tiny amounts to see if you feel better? Has anything improved since getting to

75mcg?

98.6, my pulse is 98. All signs point to me being at the correct dosage. But I

still feel pretty yucky. I if you discount my temp and pulse, I feel as if I am

ready for another increase, although I wont' unless someone gives me good reason

too. I am still fatigued, my skin is still not good, I have no drive/intensity

for life. I guess I just hang out at this dosage (while still monitoring my

temps and pulse) and wait for the RT3 to clear? How will I know?

when taking hormone replacement (for women) is there a certain ratio of estrogen to progesterone that is desirable?? both my estradiol and progesterone where in the normal range but i suppose i could still be estrogen dominant if ratio is not optimal...i am menopausal by the way...and on thyroid meds and isocort
