Nick, forgot to tell you - will send temps later. Keep forgetting to take them

with more pain in my hands and feet - suspect it is RT3 from the Synthroid. I

know my ferritin levels are not up high enough, but the doc insisted on putting

me on 75 mcg Cytomel and 75 mcg T4/Synthroid. For now, I have decided to split

the doses of Cytomel into 12.5 every 2 hours and maybe even lower the dose until

I can talk to the doctor again. Not due for more labs and an appt. for another

month.
