Guest guest Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Finally have captured my temp. After many months of trying my body temperature crests at 98.6 and I average 98.4. I'm on 75mcg of T-3 and taking 30mg of HC. At first I felt fantastic but now I'm achy with occasional joint pain. Is this to be expected? I'm thinking that perhaps the body is detoxing.I ask because I did find a tick crawling on me. It wasn't attached or fat. I had Lyme before and dread to think I have it again.Here are my latest labs (as of two weeks ago):SALIVA (taken while on 15mb of HC as per doc - 8am 10mg, 12:00 5mg)0600-0800: 4 ( 13 - 24nm )1100-1200: 2 ( 5 - 10nm )1600-1700: 2 ( 3 - 8nm )2200-0000: 1 ( 1 - 4nm )DHEA 4 (3 - 10ng/ml)Testosterone Free 8.2 ( 6.8 - 21.5 pg/ml_Testosterone Serum 392 ( 280 - 800 ng/dl )Sodium 142 (135 - 145 mmol/L )Potassium 4.4 ( 3.5 - 5.2 )Calcium 9.1 (8.7 - 10.2 )Iron 96 ( 40 - 155 )Iron Saturation 30 ( 15 - 55 )Iron Bind.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Your aldosteone is WAY low, and you high ferritin suggest oyu sitl have inflammation as your iron labs do not confirm high iron. I would tend ot oush BOTH HC and T3 up a bit higher from here. >> >> >> http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ >> http://faqhelp.webs.com/ >> >> http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ >> http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/ >> Finally have captured my temp.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Val, you quoted a couple of days ago, " Dr Holtorf says that % sat should be at LEAST 35% and not more than 45%. " So isn't his iron too low? Achy is a low iron symptom, I think. > and you high ferritin suggest oyu sitl have > inflammation as your iron labs do not confirm high iron. > > Iron Saturation 30 ( 15 - 55 ) Dorothy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Val, I've increased my HC to 10, 10, 5, 2.5. As for T3 I'll try going up to 90. As for Aldosterone, how does one go about increasing that? I'm not finding much using Google. By the way, my average temp dropped today; about .5 degree.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Rather than going the Florinef route, why not try Licorice root? It has much of the mineraclorticoid activity that you need and is not nearly so rough an adjustment. But you still shoudl get electrolyte panles at least once a month and DO watch BP as it can raise it too much. 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/ http://artisticgrooming.net/ > Val, > > I've increased my HC to 10, 10, 5, 2.5.
