Re: My average temps will not rise past 98.1

[Guest guest]

Kathleen,

I appreciate your time and answers.

I am pretty sure I don't need more HC and I know exactly what you mean by the

panicky feeling which is always a clue that I need more.

Actually, any time I just feel " needy " I know I need more.

I experimented by going up on the T3 which was a mistake as I woke at 3:30 and

couldn't go back to sleep the rest of the night, so it must be pooling. I will

back down to a lower dose.

In regard to lyme or EBV, as far as I know it has never been tested.

But then I could not even get RT3 tested here at this " good " university medical

school. What tests do you do for that?

Aldosterone was 15 a year ago, and the flashlight test reveals a problem. There

are so many intertwined factors in these endocrine issues.

basals are 97.7 to 97.9. A year ago, I had an aldosterone test and it was 15,

but I recently did the flashlight test, which I fail. I am not quite sure what

to do. Last week, I had raised up to 137 and all it did was cause adrenal

stress. My last ferritin was 100 and the saturation was 37% so it wasn't

falsely elevated.

see, but you would think that my temps would rise slowly. The only time they

seem to get up is if I am working, which obviously I do not have it to be able

to be active all day.

Nick Thank you for responding. I went up a 1/4 tab to 112.5 mcg 4 days ago and

so far I feel more tired and my temps are still hanging around at 97.9-98. Is it

normal to feel MORE TIRED at first when increasing cynomel? When should I

increase again?

I increased HC to 45 and my temps are barely stable at 97.9-98.1. I tried

splitting T3 into 5 doses instead of 4 per your advice to Deb, I'll see how it

goes.
