i went hyper 3 times in 1 week despite lowering dose-help!

June 3, 2010

5/24 I wrote: I wrote in before because i didn't feel any

effects on T3 only and was increasing my dose alot. I started at 10mcg 4/29, and

was up to 125 mcg by 5/22. Most of the times, i felt great when i increased it,

but felt like i was going hypo again 3 days later, so i upped my dose again. I

never felt hyper! My pulse was around 100, temp hovering around 98. Until today

that is. I took my normal a.m. 25 mcg, ate normal. And of course this happened

right when i went to see a new endo(in the continuing search to find an

enlightened and up to date dr.) My blood pressure was 155/80 (normally 120/80),

my pulse was 120, my temp 98.69. I felt a little jittery and hyper. So i didn't

take another dose until this afternoon, when i took 1/2 my normal. I don't know

what to do at this point, it's like what you describe would happen when your

resistance clears. But it's only been 3.5 weeks! Here's my labs before T3, and

after starting T3.

4/20 5/17 range

tsh 1.68 .024 .270-4.200

ft4 1.2 .6 .9-1.7

ft3 2.9 8.0 2.6-4.8

rt3 28 15 11-32

ferritin 51

cortisol 7.5 AT 2 PM

I had a ratio of 10, strong resistance. After these labs i was told my t3 was

pooling.

6/3 My latest update:I've been cutting my t3 dose, but I've now gone hyper 3

times in the past 1 week, with temps of 98.69, then 99.1, then 99.4. I had a

fast pulse 120, sometimes over, and the last one I felt short of breath (kind of

like an asthma attack), jittery, and hyper. Yesterday, after the last hyper

feeling, I didn't even take any t3. I checked my temps and pulse all day, around

98-98.4, and slower but not normal pulse. Today, I have low temp 97.54 and

normal pulse, so I took 6 mcg t3. What the __ happened to me? Did all that t3

pooling in my blood all of a sudden get through and make me go hyper? Within 1

week i went from 125mcg to 50mcg. What do I do now?

Thank you,
