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

September 1, 2010

Thanks a lot for your answer Val,

Four months ago, just after clearance, I checked sex hormones, testosterone was

very low, but estrogen was good I think:

testosterone: 0.04 ng/ml (0.3-7)

free testosterone: 0.86 pg/ml (range less than 2.6)

(day 21 of cycle):

progesterone: 20.49 ng/ml (3.28-38)

estradiol: 222.7 pg/ml (31-247 pg/ml)

As I said I have been hesitating to supplement testosterone because of wanting

to get pregnant.

The thing is that according to labs everything is right (except for

testosterone) and I am starting to believe that my problems are psychological,

like my doctor said. The truth is that I have tremendous mood swings depending

on whether I think things are going right or wrong. And those thoughts seem to

affect my whole body, like a vicious cycle.

> >>>>>>>>> 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?
