4 weeks to go - Needing a little reassurance

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I've got 4 weeks to go of 12 on my T3 only treatment. I started with the

reverse T3/Free T3 ratio of 11 and I've worked my way up to 110mcg of Tertroxin

(T3) but had to reduce it back down to 80 when I experienced the effects of high

cortisol and too much T3. Some of my symptoms returned but over all they have

definitely improved since starting on T3 (still very brain foggy though - still

a feeling hypothyroid, which I have been assured is normal until the clearance).

I have worked my way back up to 95mcg ok without any bad symptoms.

Anyway - although I know it's normal to still be a little hypothyroid until the

reverse T3 clears, I am still getting the 'what if I have gone through all this

and it doesn't work!!' fear... and I am not alone in this fear either. I also

have family, friends and even my partner worrying it won't work for some reason.

I guess I'm just needing to hear from a few people that have perhaps felt the

same thing before their clearance? This will work won't it? Will I really, after

15 years of linger and worsening symptoms, be feeling better in 4 weeks? (A

little scared I will be the one it doesn't work properly for).

I think it's important to note that I am also being treated for a b12 (it's

about 550 now), iodine and magnesium deficiency (I have just purchased the oil -

my doc thinks the brain fog is coming from this deficiency) and I probably have

a candida overgrowth in the gut which I am taking apple cider vinegar and grape

seed extract for (and am trying to work up the motivation to do the sugar free

diet for).
