BUMPRe: bunch of new labwork

[Guest guest]

ok:), that is good news. i was hoping to not have to worry about adjusting

florinef. i will post my rbc potassium when it comes in, but i suppose it is a

moot point, as i'm guessing it wont affect any course of action.

anyway THANK YOU VAL, i am SO happy to finally feel normal again. i am a little

reluctant to actually say that out loudLOL; i feel like if i say it i will jinx

myself and it will all go away.

125-137.5mcg t3 per day, dosed three times throughout the day...50, 37.5, 50.

No hc, just adaptogens. lots of good sea salt and other supplements. despite the

last issue i have to hammer out---low sex hormones---i am feeling wonderful

again. and i never thought i'd get there.

i owe it all to you and the wonderful people who help you keep these sites

running. you are gifted and you are a blessing in so many many peoples lives. i

cant even imagine keeping up with all that you do, but thank you from the bottom

of my heart for doing it. i know it is a journey and there most likely will be

more lows, but as of this moment, i consider myself a success story:)

thank you

sincerely,

allie

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.

rose to 113/70 upon standing.

was 113/54. right now my heartrate is over 100 and i have not taken any salt
