if it is (I know I will get heat for this, I will explain myself later if people

question this).

At 1,75 grains you are on less than a full replacement dose and every

time you alter the dosing the output from your own thyroid varies as

well.

If this variation is not completely in step then all sorts of strange

things can happen.

0.25 of a grain is a very small increment, try taking it up to 2

grains one on waking and one lunchtime.

" Most people " need 3 to 5 grains and will need months to build up to

there and stabilise on it.

We are more used to advising on T3 dosing here, the main NTH group is

the better place to advise on natural dosing

I know that, but what I'm saying is , when I rise my dose, my basal temperatures

get LOWER. my basals went from 97.5 to 97.2 after RAISING my dose. Why would

this happen?

Yes, it's called " compensation. " Some people compensate faster than others. Some

people have to get up on a replacement dose fairly fast because of the feedback

loops, others need to go more slowly.

I really don't remember the " usual " protocol for raising NTH or even when a good

dose is! The problem with NTH is that it does take some time for the t4 to build

up, about 4 weeks I think. So if you raised TOO fast, you might go hyper.

I would repost at the NTH group. They would know better than me how to raise. I

just know some people have to raise more quickly than others. Do you know that

group?

Yup, I'm a member of that group. Thanks for your help. I actually rose yesterday

from 1.75 to 2 grains and woke up today with a basal of 97.7 (instead of the

97.2 I had been getting) granted, it will probably go back down again tomorrow,

but still, its nice to see I'm getting close : )

Good deal. I'm sure they can help you with your dose raises. :-)

Yep, I got the dosing thing down. By the way, I seem to always have sweaty hands

and sometimes I'm heat intolerant. I know it sounds crazy, but I think it could

actually be because of my hypo- the timeline for when I went hypo and when this

started happening matches up perfectly. I know usually people are too cold when

they are hypo, but that was never really a problem for me. Instead I've had

sweaty palms and been a little hot. I know it sounds like adrenals, but is it

possible that it is actually caused by being hypo?
