what is going on NOW!

[Guest guest]

Hi Val,

I will give you a little run down to remind you what has been going on with me

in hopes that you may have an answer for me.

I was talking 105mcg of cytomel daily. Because my labs said my Ft3 was 9.1, I

reduced that to 75mcg and gradually went up to 85mcg daily. Rt3 last lab was

<17.

My doctor put me on 2 Isocort in the morning because my 24 hr test said I was

low cortisol in the a.m. but ok the rest of the day.

I could only handle one Isocort because of the echineaca in it. I did try two

for a couple of days but did not handle it well.

In the last week, I am seeing some hypo symptoms coming back. The swollen face,

tired, 3# weight gain when I was steadily losing and then staying the same.

My question is: Is taking the Isocort requiring me to need more Cytomel than I

could handle before taking Isocort even though I am only taking one Isocort a

day? I cannot for the life of me understand why the hypo symptoms would rear

it's ugly head again.

My ferritin is on the high side. So I do not think that is the issue. Temps have

been 98.0 to 98.4

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
