Guest guest Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hello, Can you please post your daily average temps as the mods may need those to help you. For example, if they're fluctuating too much, you may need adrenal support or more of it. Are you taking anything for your adrenals? And yes, unfortuantely, some people don't feel much better until after the rt3 finally clears. Three weeks is not a long time, so don't give up yet!

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Are you still takign iron? Iron levels can fall VERY fast when T3 is still too low or not gettign to the cells.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Yes, I am still taking iron - quite a lot actually, so the iron can't really be the problem. I am also on adrenal support (have been for many weeks now), i.e. Licorice, Rhodiola and Ashwagandha. My temperatures are usually around 36.6C, but I haven't kept track in the last few days, so probably need to start monitoring my temps again. What else can it be? Does it mean I am simply not taking enough T3? To: RT3_T3 Sent: Wed, July 28, 2010 12:32:01 AMSubject: Re: On RT3, but no changes... Are you still takign iron?

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 It means one of two things, you just need more T3, or it is pooling which is what my quesitons are trying ot determine. Pooling is generally caused by one of two things, lwo cortils or lwo iron. There ARE other possibilities but 99% of the time it si one or the other of those two. http://www.nthadrenalsweb.com http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://faqhelp.webs.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ http://artisticgrooming.net/ Yes, I am still taking iron - quite a lot actually, so the iron can't really be the problem.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Thanks, Val! I'll see how I feel on more T3, and if it doesn't change, it's probably best to do another saliva test. Re my adrenals, I have to admit that I'm not sure whether licorice, rhodiola and ashwagandha are doing the trick for me... I have taken them for many weeks now, but my temps have generally not improved. I am assuming that's a sign of weak adrenals?
