Re: What is to be expect half way into the 12 weeks of straight T3?

level of normalcy that could be expected half way into the 12 weeks.

That depends on a massive number of things such as how bad were you to

start with and how were you on previous meds.

It's a very personal thing and I can only tell you how my journey was

though I am not typical.

I had been on Natural for 10 years or so with resistance to that, it

wasn't until I got to 6 grains initially that I felt human and that

took me to the best I had been for years.

My resistance increased over the years and fast forwarding to 2009 I

was at 12 grains of Armour and still OK, I then got a new batch and it

tasted different and I crashed badly. I thought it was counterfeit and

came back to the net asking around, I was right on the leading edge of

the reformulation and started finding other people with problems.

Luckily I had a little of the old around and was able to keep human

until some other natural arrived. The crash was strange, it wasn't

normal hypo, it was very strange.

I discovered this group while looking around and went over to T3 only

which was a pretty smooth journey with only a couple of bumps along

the way.

If I classified how I was on 12 grains of good natural as a 9 then I

was fluctuating around the 8 to 10 mark while I was ramping up on the

T3 only (sometimes better than on good natural). I was dosing pretty

heavily to do that and hit hyper on breakthrough which lasted a few

hours having dropped dose to 1/4 of what I was on

After breakthrough I then had to establish a dose and have slowly been

optimizing that since. I now know that I have resistance other than

that caused by the RT3, dosing natural high enough to clear that

initial resistance had caused the T4 to be at too high a level and

that had then started producing RT3 and made a second layer of

resistance.

My daily dose of T3 is now 175, a big dose but I am not hyper on it. I

have far less residual symptoms than I did on natural and this dose is

stable and I haven't needed to increase for months now.

On this I am about an 11 on the scale that I was a 9 on with good

Armour, I am better than I have been for probably 40 years.

I need less sleep, sleep quality is better, and I can think clearly. I

wake feeling refreshed before the alarm clock goes off.

brought under control, what level of normalcy can be expected then?

For me it is the best I can remember being.

You need cortisol and ferritin in place of course and lots of other

things come into play too

The other thing I added was lots of vitamin D, I addled it as a result

of the flu scares but suspect I have gained other benefits as well
