Guest guest Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I'm not a mod but since no one has yet replied, your thyroid labs look like you have cleared and according to the help page, high pulse combined with high temp usually indicate you're on a bit too much t3. (I'm assuming you're not in the luteal phase right now as temps are normally higher then.) You might try dropping to 75 and see if that improves things. The dose most people need after clearing is anywhere from 75 to 125, so you may only need the 75. Or you could just try dropping 6.25 for a few days fist and see if that settles things down.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Thanks, Kathleen! I will try dropping the Cytomel to 75 and see if that helps. > > > > Hello Mods, > > > > I am in week 12 on T3 only wondering if I've cleared or not.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Sorry I missed this but I htink you need ot try reducing HC. Your FT3 is NOT high for being on T3 onyl. http://www.nthadrenalsweb.org/ http://www.health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://www.faqhelp.webs.com/ http://www.health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/ > Thanks, Kathleen!

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Sorry, Val, was just trying to help. :-( Didn't mean to give someone incorrect info. Can you please explain to help me understand this better? She wrote she's taking 30 HC and 87.5 t3 and has symptoms of fatigue, shakiness,anxiety and occasional light-headedness, a rapid pulse and pounding heart, and pulse is usually between 80-90. Temp has been a steady 99 degrees the last few days. So the high pulse and temp doesn't point to too much t3 but too much HC? Is it b/c the HC is pushing the t3 into the cells too quickly? I just want to learn. Thank you, Kathleen > >> > >>> Hello Mods, > >>> > >>> I am in week 12 on T3 only wondering if I've cleared or not.
