Re: Val: newest potassium & sodium labs

[Guest guest]

I owuld reduce the T3 before you get the iron IV. It looks ot me like it

is pooling. I would also wait till after that to lower HC. Right now the

lack o iron and high FT3 will create alot of adrenla stress, but as soon

as oyu get the iroin IV, I owuld try reducing HC by 2.5 thne in 3-5 days

another 2.5 drop. Meanwhile probaly 50mcgT3 till that levels gets used

up a bit.

OK thnx Val.

Why do you think the T3 is pooling?

I have only take my 1st dose of 20 mcg T3 today. So if I scale down to 50 mcg

until these levels get used up a bit, how do you suggest I dose? Right now I am

taking 20, 20, 20 & 15.

Should I reduce the HC today already? My IV is set for 2pm. I am due for my next

dose of HC & T3 in the next hr. Would it be OK to skip my next dose of T3 of 20

mcg & just take my HC of 7.5 mg & then take my next 2 regl doses of T3 & HC?

Where should the 1st 2.5 mg reduction of HC be? Right now I am taking 10, 7.5, 5

& 2.5.

How long do you think I should stay @ 50 mcg T3?

Do you think the potassium will increase once I reduce HC? Should I add in more

sea salt?

Thnx Val. Looking forward to your reply.
