Re: Problems with T3 - help needed!

[Guest guest]

You really need to get some labs,. I woudl not begin to guess oyur

iron is OK wihtout doing that and you MUST stop iron for 5 days to get a

full iron panel. Unfortunately ironadn cortils are the usual culprits

but sex hormones being imbalanced can also cause issues.

I will do the tests as soon as my doc is back. I forgot to mention that I am also feeling sick and dizzy and I've got a craving for sweet things, which is very unusual for me. Is there anything I can do in the meantime? Am I maybe on too much T3 (3 pills a day)?? Sent from my iPhone

Yes with these sympotms I would reduce T3 as this sounds like a low

cortios issue.

I seem to have the same problem and it is also my 5th week, although I am on lot more T3 at 62.5 as I previously wrote. Now I wake up super groggy, I need coffee to get me going, I feel terrible now, my hair is very dry, I am not myself. My adrenals were ok (albeit on isocort) b4 starting T3, the doc even said it wasn't necessary to take anymore (of course like all docs he didn't calculate they were OK because I was on the isocort)......and my iron tested at 104..........I am the same here and don't know what to do either. I am actually afraid to go off isocort which I would have to do for 2 wks to test properly......> Hi All>> I have been on T3 only for about four/five weeks now.
