Guest guest Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Yes, below are my cortisol lab results. I'm now at over 2 1/2 weeks of T3 and am up to 62 mcg a day. I feel better the more I increase the T3 except for nighttime. Whether I take it right before sleeping or earlier in the evening, I either have difficulty getting to sleep or wake up at 2 am or so even though I'm also taking melatonin and phophatidyl serine. As proscribed by my doctor, I've been using progesterone cream for the last 2 1/2 months to support my adrenals but it hasn't helped. 4.73 ng/ml at 8 am range of 3.5-6.3 2.10 ng/ml at Noon range of 1.4 - 2.8 2.15 ng/ml at 4 pm range of 0.8 - 2.4 1.30 ng/ml at 8 pm range of 0.6-1.61.41 ng/ml at midnight range of 0.3-1.22.39 ng/ml at 4 am range of 0.3-1.7 To: RT3_T3 Sent: Tue, June 29, 2010 8:53:11 AMSubject: Re: Re: bump -T3 transitioning Can you post your whole day's labs? 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/>> >>> >>>> I began T3 two weeks ago slowly increasing..now up to 32 mcg spread out over the day..and feel ready to increase.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 4.73 ng/ml at 8 am range of 3.5-6.3 Thsi is too LOW. 2.10 ng/ml at Noon range of 1.4 - 2.8 The low AM is causing a swing to almost too high here 2.15 ng/ml at 4 pm range of 0.8 - 2.4 Thsi is a bit high and you head into night time high levels. 1.30 ng/ml at 8 pm range of 0.6-1.6 1.41 ng/ml at midnight range of 0.3-1.2 2.39 ng/ml at 4 am range of 0.3-1.7 You do nto have perfect adrenals labs.
