Re: Just started T3 only...questions

[Guest guest]

The heart ppounding in your case I am sure is from the low iron. It is

your body tellign oyu ti cannot utilize T3 properly. I woudl slow down

increases of T3 and raise iron to 200mg elemental iron daily as thta is

what it sems to take to raise it when hypo.

I just ordered the iron supp suggested on here. I will slow down with raising

t3 and keep trying to raise my iron.

Thank you!
