Re: Stopping T3 for a day or 2

[Guest guest]

Stress dose extra HC todya and go to a LOW T3 dose, say 25mcg. I

woupld NOT stop it entirely. At this poitn your T4 is VERY supressed and

ther eis nothgin to fonversion for oyur body ot use so completly

stoppingit cna cause oyu some seruos hypo.

I was at 31.25 t3. I already took 12.5 this am when this happened

I was thinking about adding t4.

I don't know where to go from here. Stay at 25mg daily with extra hc

for a couple of days or a day and then start adding back?

Sharon, Thanks for taking the time to answer this.

Interesting about needing to take both progest and estrogen together. I had a

dr. several years ago that wanted me on progest only because it was low and then

it went high. Don't know what my estrogen is now. I will do a zrt saliva test,

the only thing is I now have a estrogen patch on and was going to keep it on

for 3 days to see if it makes a diff with my symptoms (intolerance).The question

is do I need to obstain from wearing patch at a certain amt of time before I

test?

Val, I'm down to 25 T3 yesterday like you suggested. I also stress dosed with hc

alittle (2.5 only)yesterday.

I took my 6.25t3 this am ( yesterday 12.5mcg) fell back to sleep for 30min, then

10hc got up about 10min later and BAM the hrt rate back up again, pounding not

as bad as yesterday.DAY FROM HELL.

EMT'S yesterday got a b/p of 168/92, EKG normal. hrt rate 90-100.

Today. b/p 120/80 but drops when standing to 110/78,108/82. Feel weak and having

a hard time eating stomach in a knot, as soon as i put food in my mouth i get

nauseous. I've dropped 4 lbs in about 10days (not good for me i'm thin enough)

my bodies stressing.

I seem to tolerate afternoon doses better. should i go back to 31.25 add one

more dose to prevent me from going further into hypo hell. Contin to stress dose

hc today? I only added 2.5 to my 25 yesterday (not much). I feel very weak and i

know my adrenals are getting a pounding.

Having a hard time getting up, feel flushed when i move. getting weaker and

weaker. pulse 76 resting. 88-90 standing.

I probably shouldn't of went on hc and changed from srt3 (100mcg) to t3 at the

same time. My body doesn t seem to like this regime.

Should i dose my t3 closer together every 3 hrs since i'm on such a low dose

yesterday 25, but was at 31.25 the day before.(i was higher 62.5 but had to

contin to decrease because of this problem).

I'd like to add 6.25 todya and go back to 31.25. What do you think.

Should i contin to stress dose hc?

Appreciate suggestions
