Re: Rt3, ferritin & adrenals

[Guest guest]

Hi Val,

I wanted to check in and ask a few questions.

Over the past month I've lost weight that I really can't afford to lose. I went

from 125 to 115 and am eating the same amount as usual and not doing anything

different physically.

I've been working on getting my ferritin levels up so that I can start

increasing my t3. Back in Feb. I stopped taking the t4 and started taking 5 mcg

of t3. I'm taking iron tablets. I have been taking anywhere from 175-225 mg per

day. In addition, I've been taking different vitamin supplements recommended by

the doctor that I tested deficient in (multi vit, vit d, b vits, coq10, vit e,

beta carotene). I'm also taking isocort, 5 tabs in am and 4 tabs at noon.

I'm wondering if going off the t4 and adding in the isocort and the little bit

of t3 could be causing the weight loss. Any thoughts?

Thanks so much for your help.

present and they go too high. This will interfere with sleep and proper rest and

cause the next AM levels to be too low from adrenal exhaustion overnight.

No that bit of T3 and Isocort an vitamins should NOT be causing weight

loss. Have you tried Betaine HCL? Ho wabotu a fasting glucose test?

5 of T3 is barely enough for the body to notice.

Have you got recent thyroid labs?
