Re: Hmmm - Possible Clearance?

[Guest guest]

Hi Alana,

Are you on Tertroxin or Cynomel? Reason I ask is that Tertroxin is weaker than

Cynomel. Just trying to assess how much potency the 95mcg T3 is.

Regarding the Salt. With a Sodium level of 139 1/4teasp Salt twice a day is

certainly NOT enough. I would go to 1/4 teasp x 4 daily. Increase more if you

respond well (check sitting & standing BP & HR before & after taking it). Try

drinking Salty water when you feel hot se if it helps.

You say am Cortisol is high but drops off for rest of day? Are you taking

anything to help with that? Like adaptogens or Liquorice?

It may be just be the cold affecting your temps & HR. A cold will use up

Cortisol so you may be low now while fighting that? Have you some Vit C at home?

Try taking extra to fight the cold. Extra B Vits would be good too maybe double

them as well? Echinacea, Cats Claw, Olive Leaf Extract, Garlic all help fight

infection.

Also what time of the month is it for you? Temps are higher at & after

ovulation?

Anything else changed? Stressors, work, home, meds or supps?

worked my way up to 95mcg a day, dosing 5 times a day. I have had high pulse on

and off along the way, most likely due to low sodium (which hovers around 139)

for which I take 1/4tsp sea salt twice a day. I also have low B12 (hovers

around 500) for which I am taking a high dose b-complex for and am sorting out

some well absorbed B12 lozenges (I have already had some great suggestions -

thank you). My iron and ferritin levels are good (ferritin above 70) and my

adrenals are good according to my temps but it looks like I have high cortisol

overall according to my saliva test results (ie double the target level at 6am -

below target or normal the rest of the day). My temps have always been 37 or

below... my basal temps usually low (usually about 36.4 but sometimes 36.6

degrees C).

to sleep in a singlet with the fan on and felt hot even then... a little unusual

for this time of the year (I am in Australia) even though it was a warmer night

than usual. I did not sleep well with a lot of tossing and turning - even

though I was exhausted at 9pm. I took my temp in the morning and it was 37.2

and then later in the day it was 37.4. My pulse has been between 92 and 96 bbp

- it usually been about 80-88 bbp lately however it does go a little high

sometimes, probably due to low sodium.

Hi Lethal Lee,

Thanks for the response - sorry for taking so long to reply, I've been sick with

a bad cold that went away only to resurface for a 2nd round. Just starting to

feel better now... still very fatigued with it. My temp was high for a couple of

days there but has dropped off again - suspecting it was in fact due to the cold

and not due to an RT3 clearance. I do not feel hot any more.

To answer your questions - I am taking Tertroxin. I took compounded T3 for the

first 3 weeks, from May 12 to June 2nd, and worked my way up to 90mcg. I

dropped back to 80mcg for 3 days as I was running out of T3 capsules and waiting

for a new prescription, as promised, from my doctor. When the last of my

compounded T3 ran out I ended up going without any for 4 days, still waiting for

my doctor to write a script for Tertroxin. I finally got the script on June

10th - 4 weeks into my T3 treatment. I had to go back to 50mcg and, under my

doctors advice, I rose my dose quite quickly.

By June 23rd - 6 weeks on T3 - I had risen to 110mcg (too fast) and my doctor

said he felt I was the best he'd ever seen me (I was feeling better in a lot of

ways) but was experiencing bad heart palps, heart pounding, high pulse,

anxiety/panic, irritability and angry outbusrts and brain fog/out of it. During

week 7 on 110mcg T3 (June 24) I had, had a major argument with my father (long

story - I had genuine reason to be upset but had difficulty controlling my

anger/upset) and was experiencing what Val suspected were symptoms of too

much T3 mixed with high cortisol - I dropped the T3 back to 80mcg on June 27 and

those symptoms settled completely within 1 - 2 days. I moved out of my parents

house and lived with some good friends, where I have been ever since, which

relieved me of that stressor.

June 30 (end of week 7 on T3) I rose back up to 85mcg (I felt a lot of

hypothyroid symptoms return with the drop from 110mcg) and over the next 2 weeks

(week 8 and 9 on T3) I rose up to 95mcg which I have held ever since. I am now

up to 15 weeks on T3 - I noticed a major improvement in my symptoms at around

weeks 10 on T3 but no sudden increase in temperature or pulse (I do get high

pulse but probably do to low sodium). I do still feel like I have some lingering

symptoms of hypothyroidism (especially fatigue and anxiety)... the fatigue is

still so bad I do not feel I could cope with part time work. I find if I have

one full day I still need at least a full days rest after.

Perhaps I have already had a clearance but am not on enough T3? Perhaps, due to

the mucking around with the dose to begin with - I still have a way to go with

the clearance?

Regarding Salt - I am getting an electrolytes test done soon - I will increase

my sea salt intake if it is still below 142. (I can't believe that I have had

low sodium for SO many years and all of my doctors have told me it's perfectly

normal!! Grrrr!!).

I tried taking Rhodiola and Ginseng (as I could not find Ashwagandha) but I

started taking it just before I had that big fight with my parents and I feared

that it could have contributed to my symptoms. I have heard people describe

their experience of Rhodiola and Ashwagandha as 'euphoric - like they were on

drugs' which scares me as that sounds manic to me and, although I have been in

remission since 2002 - since being treated for hypothyroidism - I still try to

avoid anything that could cause mania like high caffinated products, st john's

wort, anti-depressants (taking high doses of anti-depressants correlated with my

only manic episode in 2001). What do you think? I would like to take them but am

scared now.

Licorice root sounds like a good idea... something new to try. Val

doesn't completely trust my cortisol reference ranges at my pathology lab -

she's not convinced my cortisol levels as as good as they appear - so I am

getting it retested at another lab soon (I have the test kit now). Perhaps I

should wait until I get those results back?

The time of the month my temps went high was about day 8 or 9 of my cycle -

seems to early in the cycle for ovulation. I really think it was related to the

cold now :S The temps are back to 'normal' again now... although have fluctuated

more than usual while I have been sick. They have been a bit all over the place

actually which makes me fear my cortisol has been quite low whilst fighting it.

I have also been much more fatigued that usual - I am assuming this will improve

as I get better? (I hope I haven't crashed the adrenals!). I have been resting

as much as possible. I feel a bit better today... a little less tired. I have

been taking all my vits and minerals including Vit C and Zinc and B vitamins.

Changes/stressors in my life include having to get ready to move back overseas

to live with my partner in 4 weeks time. I have been feeling well enough on T3

to do so (which is amazing!). So I have been very busy and I guess stressed

trying to get everything sorted.

Any ideas? Encouragements or suggestions would be much appreciated. I'm feeling

a little fed up with all of this health stuff for the moment :S

Thank you very much for your help,
