Guest guest Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 How often do most of you on T3 only treatment dose each day? On Nick's thyroid-rt3.com site he mentions he doses 5 x a day at 7a, 10a, 1p, 4p and bedtime. The reason I am asking is because I am trying to figure out when I can take the iron and the calcium and magnesium the doctor wants me to take and have them not interfere with the T3 or each other. Doc wants me to take iron 2 x a day. I am thinking I could take the T3 first thing in the morning, then take the iron with breakfast an hour later. Maybe best to do the calcium and magnesium mid-day after lunch, but a good hour after an 11 am dose of T3. By the time I take iron again after dinner, it will be a good 2 hours after my 4 pm dose of T3. Guess I'll need to not take a bedtime dose of T3 because it will not have been 4 hours after I took the iron after dinner. Nick mentioned on his site that many people here questioned his bedtime dose of T3, but that it helped him sleep better. I have not begun T3 only yet, but plan to. My ferritin is too low right now and I am not sure if my adrenals are stable. Am setting my phone alarm to remind me to take temp 3 x a day! Am on the Blue Bonnet iron bisglycinate. Right now, much fatigue; pain in my feet, ankles, wrists, hands, around elbows; brain fog. Am very hopeful though thanks to all of you here, Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
