Re: Recommended ramp-up for T3?

[Guest guest]

An adrenal reaction would be the most pressing issue wiht raising it too

fast, that and low Ferritin which cn stop you cold! Low ferritin

reactions are horrible when you get too much thyroid that your body

can;t use, so play it by feel. If you start gettign reactins slow it

down, otherwise what oyu feel the first 2 days is the actual dose you

are taking.

I know I sound like a dummy, but what reactions should I look for, and

how can I tell if it's the ferritin or the adrenals?

The symptoms of low ferritin with thyroid are VERY similar to low

cortilsl except can be even worse. Anxiety and fear, and nervous

agitation along wiht pounding heart and a too fast pulse. You could

differentiate with BP testing though if you are reacting due to low

ferritin it would stress adrenals worse as well.

I just got back from a blood draw on the ferritin. I'll know by Monday

if it has come up any. I'm hoping for some kind of improvement!

My hubby is stopping to pick up the BP monitor today. What would I

look for in terms of blood pressure/pulse for low ferritin vs low

cortisol?

You are a wealth of information, Val.

Thank you,

I am not sure that Ferritin would affect BP at all. But to determine low

cortisl you need to first take BP sitting then immediately after

standing up. It should rise at least 10 points if your adrenals are

functioning properly.
