I believe the =re is somehting blocking conversion of T4 to T3 from the

looks of your cortilsl thta is probably at least part of the problem. I

would suggest ONLY T3 and HC. If you cannot get the SR HC ot work well,

you may have better luck with regular hydrocortisone not the SR product.

Taking T3 is the ONLY way to treat your hypothyroid when yo are not

converting T4 properly as T3 is what you need. But I would take as much

of the cortils as you are cpmfortable taking till you talk to the Doc

and then I would try the regular HC if you have not tried this previously.

Rhonda, I have had Myxedema COma and was given 2 years to live when I

was 40. Thanks to learning and self treating I have proved that doctor

very wrong for 13 more years! I started sea salkt when my doctors had

me on a No Salt diet for 2 years and it was literally killing me. Then I

tried for 12 years to correct my hypo wiht only Armour and finally found

the addition of T3 was what I needed. I have lierd and learned eveyr bit

of the way with this ailment and it has been definitely the school of

hard knocks but I learned well! LOL

Barb,

I don't know if I have been tested for Graves. I had a huge panel done.

Could you tell me what they test you for? I have a very low free T3 2.67 (range

3.5-4.5) Free T4 1.31 (range 1.5). My reverse T3 2as 367 (range 90-350). My

Cortisol free, serum was .30 (range .20.-1.80) So, I was diagnosed as

hypothyroid and adrenal insufficiency. My antibodies; Anti-microsome (TPO) was

15 0-34 Range and my Ant-thyroglobin 2as 21 0-40 range.

The deer in the headlights look isn't all the time. That is what I call it a

stare.

What is Graves? I know what hyperthyroid is.

This is called TED (thyroid eye disease) and is a symptom of Grave's or

hyperthyroid. Have you been checked for this?

Val,

you mentioned something is blocking my conversion of T4 to T3. My temps. avg.

98.5 the past three days. They came down to about 98.2 yestereday. I am back

down to my 25 mcg of T3 this morning. If I am not getting my T3 would you stay

at that dose? I have a lot of brain fog, but also feel hyper. I have a phone

appt. with my doctor on Monday, but not sure what to do for tomorrow. Today I

took 6.25 and 2.5 of my Cortisol. I know I can't go off completely, but do

notice a rush right after taking it. What would you suggest for the rest of the

night. I do have HC cream on hand also. Also, do you think Melatonin can be

messing me up. I started that about three days ago? I feel a little sad also,

which I haven't felt in a while.

Thank you Val. I am sorry to have to keep e-mailing you. I feel so all alone

and sad that things are going backwards. Thanks for being there. You are a

terrific person. Did you go through any of this when you first started all

this?

Val,

You are an amazing woman. Do you have a lot of support from your family? My

husband lets me bounce a lot of him. My other family isn't very supportive.

It is a lonely road and I appreciate what you do here...
