Time to Raise T3 I think . . .

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

I'm on 68.25mcg T3 and 25mg HC. Sleep is still an issue and don't know why,

I've tried melatonin and 5htp with no success. Seems like when I do an increase

in T3 shortly after I go to high on cortisol and this definitely keeps me up

and then I do a small decrease in HC.

I'm not sure if its just my body adjusting to the dosing regarding the sleep or

if its possibly related to low aldosterone since my diastolic is till in the

60's.

I just decreased HC 3 days ago by 2.5mg and my temps have been within .2 of each

other for 10 days except for one day it was .3 difference and that was the day I

realized I was HIGH cortisol. Past 3 days have been within .2 .

BP is hoving between 112 and 100. I think my adrenals may be a little stressed

because of very little sleep for the past 4 nights. I don't feel adrenalized I

just feel more hypo with depression and lack of motivation, brain foggy, moody

and somtimes highly irritable. Energy on physical level is actually pretty

good. This is more mental lethary and feeling down.

My question is should I raise T3 by 6.25/12.5 mcg at this time?

Also estrogen dominance seems to be an issue. Lots of breast tenderness even

through period. Unusal. Not sure what this is about. Labs showed high

estrogen - per Val.

I'm taking progesterone and Myomin for estogen dominance.

Thank you for any suggestions.
