What are your daily average temperatures doing? are you charting them?

The general advice is to adjust HC dose until temperatures stabilise

and then increase T3.

>I have a ratio of 18.2, so not terrible, but still need the T3. Should I start

the T3 or wait a little longer on the HC? And if I do start, how much should I

start out with? I have 25 mg tablets. I am also going to get my iron re-tested

tomorrow, just in case It was 71 in December and hope that it's still up there.

Should I be trying to increase it to the upper range (90)?

High cortils sympotikms can happen on a Perfect dose of HC if oyu are

very hypothyroid. So I would try th eT3.

Thank you Val. I did fine the first two weeks on the HC and then after that I started getting more HypoT symptoms, retaining fluid/weight around the belly, thighs rub now when I walk, burning and itchy skin. I will add in the T3 now. Thank you for your response!

Thank you for that link Nick. It was very helpful. My daily temps are 98 to 98.2 and I am not on any thyroid support yet.

I see my PCP tonight so I will have him order a new ferritin/iron panel just to make sure my levels are still in the range 70-90 (they were 71 in December) and retest my thyroid so I have a beginning base instead of my levels from December. I will get those tested in the morning and then start T3.

Thanks again Nick!

Hi Nick,

This started minimally after the HC and then it got worse this week. I have had them tested before and if my memory serves me right, my level was almost 700. I have been supplementing since the test with 1000mg a day. Will have my doc re-test it.

Thanks.
