Re: New Labs & Switching from Cytomel to Cynomel - need help with dose

[Guest guest]

WHile your iron levels look good that ferriitin is showing some

inflamnmation. Yes I woudl think you could swap even onthe dosing and

just change out 1-2 doses a day so ti si not a huge chnge to your system

if iti is a bit differnt. Some of us need even more than 100mcg so dont;

limit yourself by numbers, get the temps and pulse right .

What do you suggest for the dose of Cynomel?? Or I guess what would be the

equivalent of Cynomel to Cytomel on this large a dose. Can I take it up to

100mcg and see or do you think that will be too much for start.

Ok thank you. So the inflammation?? I have been having much more back and neck pain lately. Is this a matter of needing an increase in T3 or something else...maybe hormonal?? My progesterone was low (1.7 - Dr. says needs to be 10-20), estradial was good (96) and my T was ok at 82 (14-76) but as always my FreeT was low - .5 (.3-1.6) with a high SHBG (18-114). I have always had trouble with my T levels and high SHBG - I would love to figure this one out.> Hey Val,>> I have never had a full iron panel done until last week.

Some people DO get inflammaiton releif from progesterone I am just not

one of them, but you certinly shoudl try it. I have high SHBG and

unfortujnately the high FT3 I need promotes it. Haven't yet figured out

a wrk aorund just take enough of the hormones it binds ot overcome it.

Ok, Dr. increased my Progesterone dose today so maybe this will help. I will also start on T injections too since I've tried all the other forms and it doesn't seem to help. Two more questions and I'll leave you alone on this one...could the Low free T cause inflammation too??

and...

Should I cut back on my iron or just try to figure out what is causing the inflammation??

Thanks again Val!!> Hey Val,>> I have never had a full iron panel done until last week.

I would stop the iron as your other iron levels are fine. I ahve not

heard of lwo testosterone causing inflammation but I have not really

looked iut up either.
