Re: RT3 back, but different question on low temps

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Nick.

I've been on 15mg HC for 1.5 years. I'm wanting to wean off it too. I had been

having steady temps at 98.6 for awhile on 2 and then 2.5 grains. However, my RT3

ratio was still high on 2 grains. Even though the RT3 was high I had steady 98.6

temps. I increased to 3 grains b/c I still have low morning basal temp and

stiffness and pain and muscle fatigue still with me, as well as thinning hair,

skin issues.

My temps are back up a bit, but staying at 98.2 yesterday all day. Today first

temp was 98.4 close to 98.6 hard to tell.

One thing that did occur after my post was I got a cycle, which I have not had

for 3 months and I've read women's temps drop the day before and the day of, so

it could have been that.

I'm wondering about my RT3 though. I have a phone consult with my DR. today so

I'll see what he thinks.

Even though the temps were low, they were steady, so I don't think it's

adrenals, and I don't feel like I have low adrenal issues, although I still get

dizzy when I stand up from a low position and my BP tends to still be on the low

side, and my saliva is always salty.

Will increasing the Erfa just cause more RT3?
