I'm in the middle of my 3rd cycle. It was a long time between

the 2nd and 3rd cycle, which is why I haven't emailed/posted

about it.

Nope. However, my temperature does seem more stable than it used

to be. Not positive, though, because I have been getting lazy about

taking my temperature. I am getting darn good at remembering to

check my heart rate and blood pressure, though.

I'm at the top of the 3rd cycle.

I feel absolutely wretched. I will post more when I feel better.

I guess this is the " flu-like " feeling that is mentioned as a

possible side effect.

Hi Dean,

Another quick update. The flulike feelings are gone, and this morning

my temp was 97.8 - I'm not sure if it means anything since I was on

the couch with a space heater blowing against me, but maybe it is a

hopeful sign (it is unusual, but not unheard of for me to have a temp

that high). I can't say I feel good, just not flulike anymore.

I slept very poorly last night with funny heart feelings and " fear

in the chest " . I am taking the cardiac herbs they recommend on the

s website, which does help. My blood pressure was 108/65 this

morning. I am not sure what to make of that, since my bp goes up

from lying to standing, which I think means my adrenals are doing

okay. In recent months (since being on HC), my bp has been running

120/80 on good days. Taking T3 or taking too little HC can push it

down.

On second cycle, I had problems at 30 mcg, took T4 which helped, then

tried going to 37.5 mcg and had to take more T4. So I weaned the cycle

at that point. So it was a surprise that I am tolerating higher doses

of T3 again on this cycle.

In between cycle 2 and 3, I had NAET/Bioset treatments for thyroid

hormones and salt. I was very, very weak to salt. Noticeably weak

to TSH, T3, and T4, but not nearly as bad as salt.

The treatment for salt immediately reduced my cravings for salt and

I don't seem to need as much of it anymore (it is possible to overly

salt my food now). I was exhausted after the treatment for thyroid,

and I guess this treatment is the reason I am tolerating higher doses

of T3 again - I have no other explanation (unless maybe I am just

monitoring myself better and managing symptoms as early as possible).

We'll see if it lasts.

Oh - I have stuck with 82.5 mcg today. I think I will just wean the

cycle starting tomorrow. I just don't feel very good and I feel like

I'm teetering on the edge of symptoms all the time and have to be

constantly managing them.

If you want your temperatures to raise, try coconut oil, it's thermogenic. NOW

makes it in capsules now for people who do not care for the taste, or you can

just eat it by the tblspoon full and also cook with it.

It made our little one's temps go up to normal for the first time.

I do eat it by the tablespoonful, and cook with it. Hasn't done much

so far. Maybe I've just been hypothyroid for a longer time than she

has. Thanks for the idea, though.

===>Another thing that raised temps was methyl B12. We just gave the oral and

both my dd and I noticed she was warmer. I thought we were imagining things

until I read that methyl B12 can raise temps. I'm unsure of the mechanism, but

there's no doubt it did raise her temps.

Thanks for the update ,

Are you weaning because you have gotten your temps up to 98.6?

Or because you have not been feeling great.

I can't remember, did you try Armour?

The Natural Thyroid List state that all ones needs to do is increase Armour

and the temps will rise.

Of course it is not a permanent 'cure' like with the 's protocol.

Well, when I had B12 level checked a few months ago it was high, out

of range. I never did track down what that was all about, but I'm

not sure B12 would be appropriate since I'm not using it well?

I have had low B12 in the past and had injections that helped me

feel better, but not methyl form.

I will keep this in mind if my B12 goes low again. Thanks.

===>If your B12 is high, then it means that you have enough or a pathway is

blocked preventing it's use. The methyl B12 is for neurological health. We just

gave the oral and after a couple of weeks she got mean, pinched us, never did

this before or after. I was glad we didn't give her the shots.

I have to say about the temps, she has been on Armour for just a few weeks

over a year. It took forever to get her temps up, about 7-8 months and I am

assuming her's would be easier to correct at 5, than an adult's would.

Although after we found her low temps and hypothyroidism, I started taking my

temperatures and they weren't much better than hers. I started taking Thyroid-S

and within 7-8 months again, my temps are now normal. But then my hair tests do

not show mercury problems.

Because I am not feeling great. It's a bit up and down, actually,

but I think it's best to wean this cycle and try to monitor things

more closely on the next cycle. Also last night I fell asleep

without taking my night dose. Darn! Can't believe I did that.

So that may throw me into a period of unsteadiness. Best to cut

my losses now.

Well, it seems to me T3 should also raise the temperature. I have

had low temps for a very long time. I will not be surprised if it

takes another cycle or two. And of course maybe it won't work, but

I'm not ready to give up on this yet.

> Of course it is not a permanent 'cure' like with the 's protocol.

's may not be permanent either. The case studies indicate

some people were knocked into the the low temp syndrome again

due to stressful events, but doing the protocol again fixed the

problem.

The way I look at it, if a person can try s protocol first,

s/he may be able to eliminate the need for long-term thyroid

supplementation (with Armour or whatever). And it's just a cool

idea

Did you go to the doctor you found who prescribes SR T3?
