Re: Val: when to increase T3 & is another HC reduction indicated?

[Guest guest]

I would wait until Wed to raise T3. Yes you can then try a larger

increase and do wiat about 3-5 days after that to further reduce HC.

Ferritin dropped& pooling began so you suggested I go bk down to 60 mcg which I

have been at now for 9 days. Am having 2nd Iron IV tommorrow afternoon. Am

currently taking Floradix liquid iron 3 x dosage. Starting to have hypo aches&

pains& low energy. Also have scaled down to 20 mg HC dosed as follows: 7.5, 5,

5& 2.5 Am still sweating a bit much after showering& bruising. Am also on 1

1.4 tabs of Florinef.

2.5, which would put me at total of 17.5& then if still sweating eliminating

the bedtime dose of 2.5. How does that sound?
