If so the results are not valid increasing the levels of T3 can lead to needing more cortisol and a drop in temperature can be a marker of that. It's worth trying some iscort or HC cream and seeing if that stops the temperature drop when you take the increased dose of T3.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Thanks Nick. I was not on anything at the time of the test. I purposely stopped everything (including adaptogens) two weeks before I did the test. I looked at my health diary where I track my temperatures and the problem is consistently worse on Saturday, so that made me think about what I don't do on Saturday, I don't take Ashwanghanda or Tyrosine because they are powders that I put in a smoothie, so it is obvious to me I do need some support. Would you recommend a full course of Isocort or only midday when my cortisol is low? In other words should I restart my 4-3-2-1 dosing and see if my temps stay more stable? What about Rhodiola? I am having trouble believing I need the adrenal support because I feel so much better on T3 (fogginess is gone and my irregular heartbeat is so much better) but my body temperatures seem to indicate otherwise.
