Thnx for salt water reminder. I am due for more.Do you think I should take my next dose of T3 now as I have only taken 1 dose all day of 20 mcg or should I skip that dose & just take 3rd dose as I normally would?Do you think it is better for me to do 4 x a day dosing or 5 x a day dosing?Thnx.C.> >> > >>> Hey Val.
