all the RT3?

No idea, we don't know how low RT3 needs to be to clear receptors, We

know 12 weeks of T3 works, what else does is unknown.

>I'm going for a blood draw tomorrow to find out my levels because I am not

feeling all that well since I started back up on the T4 (62.5) and remained on

the same dose of T3 100mcg (compounded SR). I take all of it in the am and by

evening I am pooped and the aches an pains come back. I also have Hashi.

Not surprised you are suffering, why are you dosing like that??????

I'm dosing like this because MD isn't very knowledgeable on Thyroid obviously...so now I need to educated myself and take responsibly for my own health. I am learning alot from this site and sure appreciate the help.It seems that everyone spreads out the dosage throughout the day, which makes sense. I will try that.ThanksChristieTo: RT3_T3 From: lists@...Date: Sun, 16 May 2010 20:20:10 +0100Subject: Re: Re: RT3/ Ft3 ratio please

Sounds like your Dr has a lot to learn,

SR is best spread out to at least 2, maybe 3 times a day.

Depending on the compounding some people report that it dumps 50% into

the bloodstream immediately and the other 50 over 8 to 12 hours.

Because of this along you will be getting more in your bloodstream in

one hit than your adrenals can cope with.

Generally SR is a pain and harder to dose than straight T3 where any

small mistakes wear off after a few hours and you can adjust the dose

in small increments. Depending on the state of your adrenals you need

to spread it in between 4 and 6 doses a day. I count out the days

worth into an empty bottle and then carry that bottle round with me so

I can tell how much I have taken that day if I can't remember whether

I have taken a dose.
