Well, temps might be wonky for a while now b/c I'm on this super high

dose of vitamin D - just took another temp and I'm headed up again 2

hours after taking it. I also use sea salt pretty liberally now which

is supposed to help with BP so might that mask low cortisol also?

I've been going mostly by temps until now.

The sal t wil not change your BP except for what needs corecting. It

does so by supporting the function of your adrnelas and the cortisl in

your body. Sea salt does NOT raise BP! In fact it helped me lower mine

considerably.

I hadn't thought of that. I moved up my telephone consultation

follow-up with my new doc to next week so I'll add that question to

the list. Does vit D upset the GI too? I know that it can be

constipating. I'll ask though.

Thanks! I believe that is very important information.

Barb,

Darn good question, one I'm struggling with. I guess we go by

symptoms, and whether we can get optimized on thyroid, and that is done

by symptoms too, isn't it?

I'm now testing BP to help determine my HC dose. My temps stabilized

at 25 mg, but still couldn't tolerate very much T3, still didn't feel

well (humorous understatement :-P ), and BP always fell on standing. At

30 mg it rose once in a while, I'm going to 35mg and hope that makes BP

rise on standing more reliably. I'm beginning to think I may even have

to go above 35 mg at least for a while, but won't do that unless I

really need to. But I want to feel well, and be able to optimize thyroid

more than I want to focus on a number for HC.
