Val- Definitely high T3- how to proceed . . . .?

July 10, 2010

Hi Val,

This is Sage. Just an update with a question ......

After talking to you yesterday and deciding I needed to stay on at least 20mg

cortisol for the next week I ended up having a rough night. I took the 7.5 HC

total for yesterday and then went into LOW CORTISOL during the night. I stress

dosed and got the levels back up and it reduced shakes, nausea ect . . . . I

still had very high heart rate, anxiousness as I have for the past week whether

I was on 32.5mg HC or down to 20 for 2 days prior to yesterday.

I thought it would be best not to take any cynomel this morning. . . . and as

the day has progressed the heart rate, anxiety have come down. I think I may

gone through clearance. My question is on RT3 instruction page it talks about

clearance possibly happening at the 10 week mark and to STOP taking T3 or cut it

in half or quarter. It also says wait to take you next dose if your pulse is

still too high.

Question: IS it ok to go 24 hours without the T3 and check heart rate in the

morning or wait till its normal then start back up on 1/2 of original dose? I

still have some anxiety and rapid pulse but its better than all week.

Thank you again

Sage
