Re: Started T3... not feeling good...help please .. thanks

[Guest guest]

These thyroid levels indicate T3 is pooling. It is MUCH higher than your

T34 so you r boduy is not able to utilize thyroi dcorrectly, This can be

from wihter lwo cortiosl or lwo iron. If your iron is too low the T3

cannot get to the cells and wil cause anxiety and worsening adrnela

fatigue sy,mpomts. With no thyroid you need to not go to all T3 iuntil

you get adnreals and iron well supported so your body can utilize

thyroid better. Taking mor eT3 wil not help this situatin as oyu already

have plenty of T3 in your blood.

only is to clear out toxins and reverse T3.

every 3 hrs.

Erfa).

have both hyper and hypo symptoms eg (thumping heart rate, fatigue, stiffness in

joints, constipation, hairloss, low body temps ie. on erfa waking temps were

ranging from 35.9 - 36.4) and memory/poor concentration. He explained my

problems were prob due to too much T4 in my system and not enough T3 due to

conversion problem and poor adrenals. My bloods as of April were FT3 6.5

(3.95-6.8), ft4 12.3 (12.0-22). I am also taking Nutri Adrenal supplements (6

per day) to help support my adrenals as DHEA was high on saliva test. Am also

taking magnesium, Co q 10, VIT B and iron and VIT C.

Thanks Val,

Those blood results were whilst on Erfa for about 4 mths. Prior to that I was on

Levothyroxine with FT4 at 36 and FT3 at 6.9 but I had hypo symptoms. As my

results were so high on Levo wheres all that high FT4 gone in my system. Could I

still have too muc t4 in my sysmte even though my bloods show different.

My private doc who is well recognised and features on TPA website said that I

prob have a conversion problem probably due to enzyme failure and adrenal

issues.

From the physical tests he performed standing and sitting pulse rate and

symptoms i described, he said I am thyrotoxic. He suggested I start Nutri

Adrenal supplements and start again with the Erfa and build slowly. I could get

past 1half grains and my temps were getting lower. So then he said I am

thyrotoxic and I need to go on T3 only.

My cortisol on Saliva tests looked fine only little low at night. My iron is 44

which I am building up with Iron tablets. If I have plenty of t3 in my blood

why do I feel so spaced out ?

Thanks again Val

All that T4 went ot RT3 whihc is blocking T3 from reachign your cells

and causing hypo symptoims.

Does that mean as there was so much RT3 caused by the Levothyroxine that I am

doing the right thing being on T3 only.

Just wonder whats causing these symptoms i.e. tightness/spasms in neck and

spaced out/consuming wretchedness tiredness in only 2 days of being on t3. I did

feel tired on the Erfa too but not this bad.

IS my starting dose on t3 of 12.5mcg too high do you think i should drop it to

6mcg and gradually increase?

Should I pay much attention to my bloods i listed before FT4 12.3 (12-22) AND

FT3 6.5 (3.95-6.8)... as you said taking t3 will worsen the pooling ?.

Sorry for so many questions I am jsut trying to get this straight in my head.

Appreciate your help and time. Thanks again
