If you stress dose on HC do the heart symptoms get better?? if so that is telling you something Nick -- for more information on RT3 and Thyroid Resistance go to www.thyroid-rt3.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Havent tried stress dosing HC, I have been going down on the dose from 40 mg daily to 30 mg daily, over a period of many weeks. The thing is.. All my cortisol results, serum and urine, showed very high cortisol. While we can't trust them 100%, they point to SOMETHING. And that is.. I am (was?) taking too much HC!Do you think i possibly DO need more HC due to the amount of T3 I am getting? Remember.. I was on 65 mcg T3 only (which is more T3 than I am getting now) while on less than 30 mg HC. I only increased HC "to be sure" I wouldn't get any problems while taking more and more T3. >Why am I so stressed? Pulse 90... BP 140/85.. tickling in my heart.. >Is this adrenaline taking over?

I don't know the answer, I can only talk about probabilities. you are not on enough T3 for someone who has " type 2 hypo " , the definition of type 2 is that the cells are hormone resistant and that you need more than a " normal " FT3 level in order to get a full cellular response. It may be that your type 2 was caused only by high RT3 levels and that clearing those has brought you down to needing normal thyroid levels, even then you are on a low dose, the STTM site suggests that 3 to 5 grains is the " typical dose band " with some people higher and some lower. In terms of HC Val and the adrenals group are far more experienced than I am. It does seem likely though that people's requirements will vary and that some will have Cortisol receptor resistance and need higher than normal levels. I have no evidence of this but extrapolating from thyroid, Leptin, and insulin resistance has been proven in all of those. For these resistance reasons serum levels are not a reliable indicator of how the body is reacting to the hormone and hence some people will need more than others. I appreciate this doesn't answer your question, it just raises more. If I were in your position I would try a stress dose of 5mcg of HC and see if you feel any better from it.
