Guest guest Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I do have RT3 issue still, I think Val, you said it was 16 and should be 20 or higher? Anyway, at this time I'm at 3 grains of Erfa. My doctor took my off Cytomel a few months back when my RT3 ratio was good. I raised to 3 grains 5 weeks ago and my temps were normal and stable at 98.6 most every day since getting to 2 grains. I still had some lingering hypo symptoms so I wanted to get to 3 grains. I did and was doing fine until 2 days ago. Now my temps are dropping in the last 2 days. The weather is also a bit chillier than it had been, not sure if that is why. Today I had 97.6 at 9:30 am, and at 12:30pm and at 3:30pm Why would I be doing fine the last raise to 3 grains for 5 weeks, and now temps are low and I'm feeling cold with this chillier weather? I am going to discuss with my doctor about the RT3 and maybe just doing T3 only from now on, but maybe I need to raise the Erfa 1/4 grain? If I'm getting more RT3, would that cause the temps to drop and be steady? Will increasing the Erfa just cause more RT3? My D and ferritin are in the 70's, and all other issues I think are fine, so not sure why the RT3 has returned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not be RT3, it may be your adrenals. RT3 takes quite a while to build up, Adrenals drop very quickly. If that extra dose is using more cortisol then you can produce you will feel rubbish and temperature will drop. Are you supplementing cortisol?
