range in evening, and below range at midnight. i moved my bedtime dose of t3 to

the next morning, i start getting sleepy around 9-10 and i fall asleep so

quickly, if i am out driving it is even hard to keep my eyes open, like my body

is just shutting down whether i like it or not,lol.

to 113/70 upon standing.

was 113/54. right now my heartrate is over 100 and i have not taken any salt

yet. i know when i do it will help my heartrate.
