BUMPRe: bunch of new labwork

[Guest guest]

Hi Allie,

I am so happy for you! I am getting there also, started T3 only on May first.

I have a question for you. What adaptogens do you use? I am very curious, it

seems there is still something missing for me. I tried doing a search, but way

too much info out there!

I had RAI for Graves in 10/08, so I do not have a functioning thyroid at all.

I am also so very grateful for this group, they are all such special people and

they are helping so many of us out of the goodness of their hearts!! Thank you,

thank you, thank you!!!

Donna

in 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.
