Reducing T3 before starting cortisol

[Guest guest]

My temps have gone up to 99-99.1 between 12-1pm, I decreased my t3 from 100 to

65mcg (SR). I take 45mcg at 7am, 10mcg at 12n and 10 at 6pm, but my basals are

98-98.3 range. My averages for the past week

6/24 98.6

6/25 98

26 98.3

27 98.6

28 98.8

29 98.8

I feel as though I should decrease it more before I start my cortisol and I

won't do this until mods get back from vacation on the adrenal group, so that

been said my temps seem alittle elevated still and if there is pooling I don't

want to become hyper when I start HC. What do you think about this?

I did have a rt3 problem and went up to 100 but never reduced it. Labs showed

ratios of 33, with decreased rt3. Do you think it is because I have cleared out

more rt3? I still have some hypo symptoms like hair loss, fatigue but could that

also be adrenal issues since that needs to be addressed too.

Thanks

You can't clear RT3 with low cortisol. Cn't be done as low cortisol is

one of the causes of it. Low cortios causes th eT3 ot pool in the blood

and look very high while not much is gettgin to the cells a cortisol

opens the receptors to receive the T3. Your high temps do not indicate

high T3 levels as when it isn;t gettign to the cell s it annot raise

your temps. Thsi may be form low aldosteorne as thta I have seen many

times cause high temps.

You need to work up to double that iron dose. Your lwo sodium and

especially highish potassium points ot low aldosterone. If it si too low

you wil not be able to ablance your adrenals well enough to tolerate and

utilize T3 properly.

Do I hold off taking cortisol until I bring up my iron levels? Will I not be

able to tolerate the cortisol too?

Thanks

No, these are all the labs I've done recently. Next draw I will ask to include

aldosterone, should I include renin?

Since adrenal group is closed I don't wnat to start cortisol until everyones

back.

Renin is only needed if you suspect kidney problems.
