Re: Re: more T3 dosing concerns

>i'm not sure how i am ever going to get to the 75 to 100 mcg needed to achieve

rt3 clearance (at least under doctor supervision) when i called her about my

symptoms returning with a vengeance the second week after being on 25 mg, it was

i who asked about the increased dosage, and she agreed to raise me to 50 (but as

i am finding out, too much too quickly)

Once you are on 50 and feeling OK, and it seems you are pretty well

there, you will find you need more in a week or so, Your Thyroid is

not producing much and the T4 levels in your body are slowly decaying,

they drop to half roughly once every 2 weeks and hence take many weeks

to get to nothing. As the T4 decays you need to add more T3 each week

to make up for less conversion going on

>i had the saliva cortisol test and according to that test my adrenals were ok

(done in june)...i've questioned those results as i also have the adrenal

fatigue symptoms....and i did the 'flashlight' test on my pupils and they showed

adrenal fatigue

can you post the results and ranges, it's where you are in the range

at each time of day that matters
