Guest guest Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Val I'm just getting your email so didn't see your suggestion to lower HC. Can you explain why the HC should be lowered cause I don't understand, I thought bouncing temps meant not enough HC? My 9am dose is 10, noon is 10, 3pm is 7.5 and 6pm is 2.5 I've been getting good steady temps since April 27, a month prior to starting T3. I thought T3 made temps go up and HC kept them steady. Is it normal to have a need to taper off HC when taking 25, 25, 25, 18.25 T3 in week 4?Since I'm just reading your email now I thought I was doing the right thing by not taking my last dose of cynomel - but I did take my last dose of 2.5 HC and whatever was going on with hyper feeling & heart pounding seemed to calm down. Just took my BP and it is 139/85 but my pulse is still 92. Usually my pulse runs 75 - 90.Thanks for any insights you have on this Val, I appreciate it. I'd love to know what are you seeing that suggests I should lower HC and need to know when and how much?Kem<<Posted by: " T" artisticgroomer@... valharlyMon Jun 21, 2010 5:36 pm (PDT)I would try lowering cortisol FIRST. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/http://faqhelp.webs.com/http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/>>> Val or Nick, I think I've gone hyper, something is going on for sure. > My rt3 ratio was 16.7.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Because over all your symptoms point MORE to high cortils than to high thyroid. High P and HIgh PUlse BOTH can be form CORTISOL being too high. The temps look pretty satble except for ONE day. The other two are in line wiht each other just a tad high. POFTEN as we clear the receptors of RT3 the cortils needs go dow quickly., Bleieve me I tried with T3 changes at first too and it wa weong, it was the HC. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://faqhelp.webs.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ Val I'm just getting your email so didn't see your suggestion to lower HC.
