Re: More clearance and dosing questions

[Guest guest]

Hi Margery,

Thanks for the support...yes, that is what it's about, isn't it?

had suggested that I decrease HC, then I was terribly sick for several

weeks and didn't. Nick also mentioned that I decrease it by 2.5 and see what

happens, so I'm doing that today. If it goes well, then I'll add the 12.5 T3 he

suggested as well.

Thanks again!

I'm feeling really hypo again. I'm dosing T3 25mg morn, noon, mid afternoon,

dinner for a total of 100. Last night, I added 5mg at bedtime and slept like a

baby. Today I've had that hypo tired feeling and starting mid afternoon, legs

swelling and hurting- which I haven't had in forever, tight throat and

chest-like I can't get my breath. I've been drinking 1.5-2t sea salt in 32 oz

water throughout the day, and am sooooo thirsty but it's really hot here! No

weight loss yet, either, but I'm just starting to decrease the HC from 40mg a

day. I'm nauseated with that weird tight sick feeling in my throat up my neck

and into my ears...could this be too much cytomel and hc?

Laughing....change of plans. I read and responded to Nick and Margery's post

before I read yours. So... I WON " T be decreasing HC first, but will increase T3

and see how it goes..then in a few days, decrease HC by 2.5.

Thanks so much. I'll keep you posted.

I never knew about. I feel a LOT better since getting up early and starting the

HC early. It has totally changed my ryhthm and now I can go to bed at early as

10:30 or 11. And that's early for me, believe me! LOL

> If you're not wired, likely your cortisol is not low and your t3 is not high.

You MAY be on a bit too much HC, especially later in the day, which is making

you stay up later. You might want to post your dosing schedule on the adrenal

boards. But as Nick said, don't try to reduce right now if you're going to raise

the t3. You night need that extra HC anyway for a few days with the t3 raise.

> Nick advised to increase and your symptoms sound sort of hypo to me, also your

temps, too, so maybe that's a good thng to do -- increae the t3. Feeling it wear

off is a good sign you're not on enough. I was told that if you feel it wear off

like that, you don't have enough in your bloodsteam, especially if you weren't

feeling it wear off before.
