Re: Why won't temps and pulse drop after stopping t4?

[Guest guest]

>I am on my first week of t3 only, taking 6.25 * 3 times a day. My tempreture is

prettu high 37.1 c (99f) and pulse fast - 100 bpm, So I guess I shouldn't add

any more t3 righy now. It has been almost a week without any t4 med (have been

taking 600 mcg per week).

What I believe happens when you have high levels of T4 around are that

as the circulating levels lower it starts converting better.,

I was on 12 grains of Natural and stopped dead and started on 100 of

T3.

After a week I had to lower the T3 for 2 or 3 days and then ramp up

again after that.

Working theory that fits what you are having is that a LOT of T4

blocks conversion. Stopping taking it and adding T3 allows that T4 to

decay and as it gets to a particular level it will convert for a while

and then as it goes lower you will need to increase T3 again.

This happened 1 week in for me.

>I am waiting for my tempreture and pulse to drop, but they continue to be

elevated. What do you think is going on? Maybe one week (actually 5 days) is not

enough time to wait?

>I havn't done my iron IV yet - will do it next week.

Drop the T3 low or to nothing and wait it out, increase the T3 as you

start to go hypo, it's a step along the way of what can be a roller

coaster ride.
