RE: Re: Re: Trying to determine cause of my RT3

[Guest guest]

just a word of warning to those on Neurontin

I took it for a few months till i found out it was

responsible fro my horrendois excruciating ear

pain...that never even went away after i stopped the

Neurontin.

found out later that this was one of the

characteristic side-effects of it.... that made a lot

of people have permanent ear problems ever-after.

>> Trying to determine the cause of my RT3.

Currently I'm supplementing for HC, so right now I

don't have high or low cortisol and I'm not following

any extreme diet and I'm sneaking up on 50, so aging

doesn't appear to apply.

T3 was 311....can't find the labs, and I don't

remember the units. Guess what, when I felt my

WORST, I found out three months later that I had a

MOLD FARM growing in my HVAC--so much so that I was

breathing 20,000 spores (and 300 times as much mold

products and fragments). I have replaced the HVAC,

and my Rt3 was down to 111, and my T3 was high, of

course, with generic cytomel (currently at 150mcg/day

split into 100 morning, 50 bedtime.).
