Advice Please

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Just a little History.

Have RT3 and Thyroglobulin AB's ,I've been on Slow Release T3 for 5 months, and

at a dose now of 15mcg x 2 daily 6.30AM & 6.30PM, no HC Adrenal Support as

Anti-Ageing Doc only advises Adaptogens and Vitamins, and I haven't been using

the Adaptogens just lately as I'm getting confused with everything I read as to

which one is the best for me and the best time to take it.I had low cortisol in

the Am but it is now good according to Labs.

Also been on Compounded Progesterone for a few weeks due to being Low with

Oestrogen Dominance.

I know this dose of SRT3 is very low according to some here but the doc doesn't

want me to go any higher.

I don't feel any different now to when I first started, except since taking the

Progesterone I feel I am sleeping better.

To my main question,

I had a bit of a scare last night, I forgot to take my morning dose of SRT3 and

it was over 6 hrs later by the time I remembered, so I just took my evening dose

as usual, I was fine all day and evening, but awoke in the middle of the night

with pounding and erratic heart beat and pulse racing, with some relaxation

breathing it went away in about an hour or so, I can on only assume this

happened because I suddenly lowered the dose by forgetting the Am and by taking

the evening dose to my body it was like a larger dose and I had a HYPER attack,

does that make sense?

Could that also mean that I am using it up quite fast,because I'm not on

enough.... so confused!

If that's the case what would have been the best thing to do ??.. should I have

maybe taken a smaller dose as soon as I remembered I had missed one [i have some

5mcg capsules]to bridge the gap?

I phoned the doc this morning, but in a relayed message she said I shouldn't be

taking the 15mcg at 6.30pm....too late she say's...but I've been taking at that

time for a while and had no adverse effect before, I've even tried a 9am/ 9pm

schedule and it's been fine,so I know that time had nothing to do with it, I

said I was feeling O.K now just a little weak and still a bit shaky, and I had

taken my normal Am dose, and all I was told was if I felt bad to make an

appointment with a my local GP or get back to her.

Needless to say I was not very happy with her she gave me no explanation of what

could have happened or what to do in those situations.

I just would like to know what is the best thing to do if I miss again by any

chance?

Also does the Sea Salt regulate the Heart/pulse in a HYPER situation or is that

just for Low Sodium.??

Just in case I also decide to wean off the SRT3 altogether, can someone help

with the process,? I would assume that as I started with 2.5mcg and increased

every 5-7 days that this should be the case in reverse....correct??

If I can't get anywhere on this dose I may as well not be on anything for the

thyroid and just concentrate on trying to get the adrenals in shape.

Thanks

Sandy
