[BULK] Re: Problems rising T3 / How much HC can one take? BUMP

[Guest guest]

The thing is that I am in a complete mess, I don't feel confortable about doing

the T3 protcol anymore. One of the reasons is that I am 41 and haven't been able

to get pregnant (I have been trying for many years). I am considering IVF, but I

fear no clinic will " accept " me taking T3 only. Other reason is that I am so

focussed on the protocol that I don't have any energy for other issues in life.

I spent all my day cheking this and that and getting really depressed if temps

are too high or too low, etc... Finally I am scared about the risks of forgeting

the meds, having an accident and not being properly medicated, etc...

All these reasons I would put aside if I was actually feeling an improvement,

but I can't say I do. I did experience clearance, my temps are higher, my pulse

is higher, too high actually (so I guess T3 is getting into my cells), but I

still have hypo symptoms (?), and emotionally I am a wreck.

I actually think all this is stressing me a lot and lately I am crying all the

time and feeling really hopeless. It seems clear for me that the kind of

psychological stress I am going through is hindering my progess, but I feel

trapped. My worse sympoms have always been " psychological " , panic attacks,

agoraphobia, OCD, derealization... and I see really no improvemt, actualy this

August has been really bad.

I am considering going back to Natural Thyroid (ERFA) and try to work my

problems from there.

Any comments will be most welcomed,

> >>>>>>> I am having problems rising T3. I am now taking 75 Cynomel and I would

like to rise to see if I could feel better. I have had an awful month. I decided

to go of the little bit of antidepressant I was taking (10 mg Anafranil) and I

had a horrible month with panic attacks, insomnia, crying spells.

good heart rate, about 80, but during the day it gets above 100). Also I keep

loosing weight being already too thin. The fast heart rate happened to me before

(when I went up to 62.5 T3) and it eventually improved (I don't know exactly why

but the two things I did were to increase HC and to take 400 magnesium).

> >>>>>>> I have posted a lot here, but everything (iron, aldosterone,

electrolites) seems to be O.K. according to this group. Only HC maybe wrong

(although all the test I did before supplementing came out right), but I am

supplementing 37.5 and still having problems rising T3. Could/Should I increase

HC? what about increasing the magnesium dose?
