Re: Val: opinion pls on newest labs

[Guest guest]

Thnx for salt water reminder. I am due for more.

Do you think I should take my next dose of T3 now as I have only taken 1 dose

all day of 20 mcg or should I skip that dose & just take 3rd dose as I normally

would?

Do you think it is better for me to do 4 x a day dosing or 5 x a day dosing?

Thnx.

C.
