I've worked my way up to 95mcg a day, dosing 5 times a day. I have had high

pulse on and off along the way, most likely due to low sodium (which hovers

around 139) for which I take 1/4tsp sea salt twice a day. I also have low B12

(hovers around 500) for which I am taking a high dose b-complex for and am

sorting out some well absorbed B12 lozenges (I have already had some great

suggestions - thank you). My iron and ferritin levels are good (ferritin above

70) and my adrenals are good according to my temps but it looks like I have high

cortisol overall according to my saliva test results (ie double the target level

at 6am - below target or normal the rest of the day). My temps have always been

37 or below... my basal temps usually low (usually about 36.4 but sometimes 36.6

degrees C).

getting to sleep, even though I feel very tired early in the night and have to

go to bed and once asleep I am tossing and turning a lot. This is not completely

abnormal but I can usually get to sleep eventually and stay asleep ok.

Yesterday, which was a warmer day than usual anyway, I suddenly felt hot - as if

I had a temperature - so I took my temp and it was 37.4. Last night I felt so

hot I had to sleep in a singlet with the fan on and felt hot even then... a

little unusual for this time of the year (I am in Australia) even though it was

a warmer night than usual. I did not sleep well with a lot of tossing and

turning - even though I was exhausted at 9pm. I took my temp in the morning and

it was 37.2 and then later in the day it was 37.4. My pulse has been between 92

and 96 bbp - it usually been about 80-88 bbp lately however it does go a little

high sometimes, probably due to low sodium.

clearance right? The only problem is - I have had a cold for the past week

which has just flared up again last night. My temp did not go high when I first

contracted the cold - but it did yesterday, the day my cold flared up again.

Or assume this could be my rt3 clearance?
