Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Hello I am new to this group and I have addison disease which is primary adrenal insufficiency. I have to wear medical bracelet as I do not make anough cortisol to live. I also have hashimoto thyroiditis. I normally increase my cortisol when i increase my T3 or cytomel, if i get hhot flashes..which is a big sign. You have to be careful watching these symptoms because I have been through an adrenal crisis many times due to thyroid issue and adrenals. Headaches are usually sign of too much cortisol and too much T3. But it is tricky. IF you get red marks that also means too much cortisol. I have been dealing with this since 2001. > > Does anyone know why my stable temp has gone from 37.0C / 98.6 F to 37.3 C & 99.2 F every day in the past few days? > All I am doing is changing T3 to ERFA Thyroid (wouldn't rT3 give me LOWER temps?) and lowering HC from 40 to 37.5 mg daily. > Oh, and the salt stop and start again in the past 3-4 days. > I have normal white blood cell count as of today, but a hemoglobine that fell from 17.8 only 2-3 days ago til 15.5 today. > - With an insane headache > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Hello there! Ouch. I don't have s, but I feel bad because you do! This sucks - Taking HC is such a drag! I am hanging in there, but god my head hurts and I dunno why. Been on HC since June 2009 now. The temp thing is weird. Could T3 pool in my blood causing temp to rise?I recently lowered HC with 2.5 mg down from 40 to 37.5 mg daily. Wonder if that might've been a bad thing though.?Subject: Re: Temp is up!To: RT3_T3 Date: Friday, April 16, 2010, 6:52 PM Â Hello I am new to this group and I have addison disease which is primary adrenal insufficiency.
