I have been doing some daytime temps, and notice that the average has gone up,

sometimes though I am not able to take the three readings, as I said I have only

noticed the basal temp to be the one that drops on the dose increase.

I am waiting on results of the latest saliva tests now but was still taking the

supplements, but not the day of the collection, was 1 only in the morning at

6am. Do you feel that is going to skew the results? the doc never mentioned

about stopping them.

Also do you know what some of the gut issues would be with taking the SRT3, I

have been getting a bit of heartburn but with all the other stuff I'm taking

it's hard to know what the culprit is ?

I have asked a couple of times now about the other ways of clearing RT3 that is

stated on the website, but have so far had no response to this question, please

email me privately if you do not want to publish the answer.

Thanks

Averages rising is a good sign that things are improving. The

significance of a drop in the basal depends where is was compared

with the average, if it was very near caused by high night time

cortisol then a drop could be a good thing

They may skew it, post the results here or in the adrenal group and

let people know what you were taking at the time and someone will

interpret them

Don't know, sorry

Other ways are taking part Natural and part T3, there is a lot less

knowledge about how successful this is though.

Just because the serum levels reduce there is no guarantee the

receptors will clear.

Sorry not sure what you mean here Nick, but i.e with my last increase : at

5.50am on the 9th my basal was 36.5 and had been rising, increased 6am dose on

same morning, next morning basal was 35.9, on the same days my daily temp was

36.8 [only got to take one on the 8th and one on the 10th] but seemed to be the

same either side of the raise, and these daily's were taken during the middle to

afternoon of the day.

The 35.9 drop was the lowest it has gone down to, most times after the raise it

would be from 36.1 to 36.3

Can you tell anything from this?

Basal was back up to 36.4 today [11th] and at 1pm temp was 36.9.

And why is it that I get this tight feeling in my throat and a sort of raw

feeling in my wind pipe/lungs when I raise, could it be that is the Thyroid

reacting to the increase and/or because as a child I had whooping cough and have

always had shallow breathing/air hunger type issues.

Very complicated to work out!

Not really, need to see how it's behaving over a longer period of

time. Single day figures can be all sorts of things. The day of an

increase things are disturbed and they settle down after that

Just a thought, where are you in your cycle? that produces bumps in

the temperature curve

>Basal was back up to 36.4 today [11th] and at 1pm temp was 36.9.

Pretty good numbers, you are getting there

Hypo symptoms still??

Yep, it's an interesting puzzle and much harder to negotiate with

brain fog

I wish I knew :-( quite some years now since a Hysto plus Menopause so seem to

have lost track of all that, I have been trying to get some clues with the temp

drops but seem to have drops at odd times so very hard to work out.

But now at 9pm back down to 36.1 ugh! I know it does drop in the evening.....but

surely not that low!

I have not taken any supps today in an effort to get rid of this heartburn ,

something is causing it, so maybe that's why the big temp drop.....I don't know,

I will start adding things back in tomorrow [if gut is settled] and see what

happens.

O.K but I didn't have these particular symptoms before the T3...?

One more question...how would I now raise the bedtime dose in line with the

daytime doses. I'm on 12.5, 10, 5 and I'm a bit concerned at doing that, because

my morning cortisol was low, and as T3 uses up Cortisol wouldn't this make it

worse taking in to account that I'm not on HC.

Post meno you shouldn't be getting cycling of temperature from that.

It seems like the degree of hypo you have can give different symptoms

and that the process of treatment can lead you through ones you didn't

start with. Anecdotal evidence only but seems plausible.

Remind me, is that SR?

****So does that mean I'm not going to feel any better until I get to a certain

dose?
