Re: Confused: now temps have gone down...(BUMP)

[Guest guest]

I am VERY concerned... my temps keep droping without having changed anything in

my meds... Today I have reduced cortisol a little, as Val advised. I didn't do

it before because I got a cold and I though it was probably not the right time

to do it (actually I stress dosed during two days because I was having a very

sore throat and was feeling very poorly).

Can really this radical drop of temperature (temps are now as they used to be

before clearance...) be because too much cortisol... I actually feel quite hypo

now, as if the first effect of T3 after clearance was " getting diluted " and I

needed a rise, does this happen, that after a few weeks of clearance one may

need a higer dose than before to keep temps high? Or does this drop of temps

mean that the T3 is not getting into my cells anymore?

I am very scared and trying to understand why my temps are droping after almost

two months of being high, but I just can't understand...

Many thanks,

Many thanks for your answer Nick. Did you temps/pulse also drop? or, how did you

judge you needed a rise?

I forgot to say that my pulse has also droped, and I am putting on weight very

quickly. I am also getting back some very characteristic hypo symptoms of mine,

like wirst and back pain. These later symptoms are very telling for me because

they respond very quickly (for good and for bad) when I change thyroid

replacement dose, whether Armour, T3 or even T4-only meds.

So, would you suggest starting rising T3 little by little? I am now on 50

cynomel (which I guess is not that much, but I am quite a small woman...) and

today reduced a bit HC to 22.5.

Thanks again,
