Reemind me, is it you on the SR T3 ??

Thanks for the reply, Nick.

Yes, that's me on the SR still. :-)

I didn't know what to do, so last night I just went ahead and took less for the

night dose. I cut the night dose by 10 and slept a bit better -- less trembly

and low cortisol symtpoms and woke up feeling TONS better with no trembly

feelings.

I am just thinking that 1/3 my dose is too much to take at bed and I don't have

enough cortisol for that and when I do have enough cortisol to handle it, I have

daytime temps all night long! That doesn't seem right...

Today I am trying 40, 40, 25 instead of the 35, 35, 35 I was on. If all goes

well, I may leave the bed dose at 25 and just make increases to the am and

afternoon doses as needed.

Thanks,

Kathleen

Sounds like you are getting there, it's very personal and a matter of

finding what works for you.

Just remember that as you become less hypo the adrenal stress lowers

and you may need to make timing changes at a later date/
