Guest guest Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Suzanne I would continue wiht 1 iron tab a day so your levels do not fall . Retest as soon as you cna following Lee's protocol. But personally I htink you are fine to conmtinue wiht SOME iron as your levels are not high, and we do nto want them to fall and you stil have symptoms of low iron. > Can I get some feedback on what I am doing? I am really frustrated because I have been doing this so long, making mistakes and set backs all along. Maybe someone could give me some pointers. > > > >When starting back in January my rt3 ratio was a 6 and Ferritin was in the 20's. Fairly quickly I was able to raise ferritin and iron panel reflect good iron levels. The raise in iron didn't provide noticeable benefits so I did a saliva cortisol test. AM is low so treating with IsoCort. My dosing schedule is as follows: > > > >wake up 18.25mcg t3 and 4 IsoCort > >2 hrs later 18.25mcg t3 > >2 hrs later 12.50 mcg and 3 isocort > >2 hrs later 12.50 mcg > >2 hrs later 12.50 mcg > >2 hrs. later 12.50 mcg > >bedtime 12.50 mcg > >total 99mcg t3 and 7 isocort > > > >I am trying to stay at smaller more frequent doses because my once low pulse of 60-66 is now up to 88-90's and higher.  A " good " pulse for me would be around 72. I was a fit runner even when my rt3 was too high. Now with treatment I feel like I am always trying to catch my breath. > > > >I know something is " off " but I can't figure it out. I tried dropping my t3 dose down into the 80's but my hair falls out. I have been up on my t3 around 125mcg hair doesn't fall but my pulse is too high. I have also tried the saltwater test and it doesn't elp. > > > >My main problems are feeling like I can't catch my breath, even when just talking. And I feel a lot weaker, out-of-shape feeling.
