dosing help

[Guest guest]

Val,

its been almost 3 weeks since our phone consult. I stopped the erfa and started

cytomel . i have worked my dose up from 50 ug to 100 ug. I felt better and

sleeping much better , but in the last 3 days i have started to crash, with hypo

symptoms of tired, aching, foggy .My temps are still low 97.5 but stable,pulse

is ok,ferritin and cortisol were ok last i checked 4 weeks ago. I feel like my

own production of t4,t3, is dropping and im not keeping up enough.how high a

dose of cytomel can i take and how fast do i go up? anything else to do??

Read this and I am in the same boat and same level. I was doing fine and slowly

increased and now at 100mcg of T3. I take it every 2 hours. I feel more tired,

aches in joints, dry, especially hands and feet. Then around the evening I feel

that loss of breath feeling, pressure in the chest etc.. I know it is all hypo.

I am not anxious, heart beats fine, normal pulse, low temps still.

So do we keep raising our dose, and as rt3 clears we start feeling better???

I guess so if everything seems to be in check i.e. supported adrenals, good

ferritin, etc.

I have been incrementing every 6.25mcg of grossman cynomel brand from Mexico. I

think I will try to increase in 4 days, wait how I respond, then again in 4 days

or so.

I am kind of new to this too, so don't feel alone.

Most people feel a bit better along the way as they clear hypo

symptoms and then get a surge at the end.

Receptor blockage clears suddenly for some very strange reason
