> Do you think my iron is staying low because of the baby's need for iron? I'm

amazed I can tolerate the T3. I still get a racing heart when do anything other

than sit, feel breathless, weak, etc. I sent several emails to doctors who

sounded somewhat promising and found one an hour away who treats RT3 and

prescribes T3 and HC. So I am going to try and get in with her as soon as

possible. My worry is that I won't have the breath/strength to get through my

upcoming labor. Thanks for your help, Val.

And if I can ask another question; I've noticed that when I take my afternoon

temp 3 hours after my last T3 dose, it is 98.1-98.2 but when I take it more

recently after my dose, it is 98.4.
