Adrenals stable but temps are now dropping

[Guest guest]

Nick, my temps are really stable on 30 mg. HC and after recently going up to 4

gr. NT my temps were going up to 98.6 for a week but now the average is dropping

..01 at a time and heading toward lower 98's. Even on 4 gr. the fatigue will not

go away even with temps in the 98's. My last RT3 lab ratio was 14.6 and this

just seems to be an old pattern of upping NT gr. feeling ok for about a week

then hypo symptoms creep back in. Do you think it's time to bite the bullet and

go on cynomel? I have a good supply of T3 but had hoped NT with 30 HC would be

enough to keep the temps up. I've been under a great deal of stress but the old

adrenals have held tough on 30 HC and remained stable, just the temps and

fatigue are an issue again. I'm thinking the rt3 is flairing up after looking

good for a week with higher temps.

Hopefully Nick will answer when he's around again, but meanwhile: if my ratio

was 14.6, I would go on T3-only. Especially if temps keep dropping after NT

increases...sure sounds like the T4 in the NT is converting to RT3,

unfortunately.

You probably already know all about about ferritin - but I didn't see your

ferritin level - a level of 70-90 is what's needed for good thyroid function.

I'm guessing you have this info already, too, but here it is again anyway just

in case:
