ups and downs all the time, please help

[Guest guest]

rT3 cleared about two months ago and still I can't find balance, I feel lots of

ups and downs. I increased T3 a few days ago (to 62,5) because I was feeling

hypo, I felt an improvement but now I feel very, very hypo again, with eyes dry

like sandpaper and lots of back pain (which was one of the few symptoms which

actually resolved very well even with synthroid). Despite feeling very hypo my

pulse has gone up even to 120.... So I feel very poorly and confused. Basal

temps have been going up and down very much also. I haven't been very good

lately taking my daily average temperature, but the little I have checked seemed

stable.

I have been somewhat stressed the last few days and been sleeping little which

always affects me a lot, so I wonder if it's my adrenals causing all this fast

changes. Since clearance I have been reducing HC dose with no apparent trouble

and I am now at 22.5.

However if the problem is with adrenals I wonder whether is low or high

cortisol... The only thing I can say for sure is that before clearance I was

loosing weight by the day and felt often nauseous (which I interpreted as low

cortisol) and right after clearance weight loss stopped immediately (in fact I

started putting on all the weight I had lost during the previous three months on

T3 only) and I don't feel nauseous anymore, so something clearly changed at that

point.

I am worried... Shouldn't I be feeling better already??? Is this " normal " ? I did

notice clearance very much, temps climbed and weight loss stopped, etc... but I

don't seem to find my sweet spot...

Many thanks,

That weight losss stopped tells me the thyroi dstopped gettingot the

cells, in other words the new higher thyroud levels is using more

cortils than yo have available, I would increase HC a bti and graph

those temps again for a few days.

But Val,

weight loss was not a good thing for me, I was loosing weight to the verge of

becoming too thin and I had nausea at the same time. I think then is when

cortisol was low! Now I weight 54 Kg (119 pounds) and I think this is more or

less my ideal weight. All this changed after clearance, I felt better and more

stable.

Now is different, I don't lose weight, I don't feel nauseous, I just feel hypo

but with a high pulse rate... Could it be high cortisol instead what is making

me feel like this...

I just seem to be unable to find the balance, with thyroid and adrenals

interfering with each other...

Thank you very much!!!

unreliable. Yoiu ned to graph tmep snad check BPO sitting and standing

O.K., I just checked my BP sitting and standing, it was more or less the same,

around 102/63.

Basal temperatures have been changing a lot (partly because my rising hour has

been changing quite a lot too from one day to the other). I haven't been very

good at taking average daily temps lately, but the little I checked they were

quite stable.

I will try to be more systematic checking temps.

Many thanks, Val, for your suggestions,
