Guest guest Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 > Did you go to the doctor you found who prescribes SR T3? > -- The local doctor is hoping to get production of Sustained release T3 up within the next month or two. He sent a pharmacist to the US to get trained in compounding. All our pharmacists in South Africa are now gloryfied pill-counters who can't mix a martini. I saw him a few months ago and he gave me some thyroid herbs (on the 's T3 website). They didn't lift my temp at all. So I managed to get hold of some Thyroid-S and increased 1/2 grain a week till 3grains (I don't seem to have adrenal problems anymore). I never got any palpitations or anxiety or anything. But just before I got to 3 grains I started to get a flu that I have batteled to shake for 8 days now. This is very unsual and not like a flue I've ever had, it is all around the thryoid and sinus area. No sore throat, just coughing and tightness in the main bronchus. At the same time my temps have risen, sometimes to fever, over the last few days. But generally sticking around optimal 98.6 (37 Centrigrae). But I don't feel optimal. I'm now wondering if the increase in temps can cause an awakening/flushing of dormant bugs that have been 'hibernating' in the cold temps. I say this based on one other person I know having a similar experience on starting thryoid meds, and you mentioning flu-like symptoms. But have not noticed any comments on this elsewhere. It must be a monumental transition for the body to adjust several degrees higher? Any thoughts? Anyway, I plan to cycle off the Thyroid-S when the SR T3 is available. I've already had dramatic improvement in bowel function and skin function on the Thyroid-S. Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
