Guest guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 All is well since the doc appt. for my 12 year old son last week. Doc agreed to up the dose of HC to a total of 15mg daily (from 10mg), to support the adrenals before we try to add t3 in a couple of weeks. Hopefully that will be enough HC. I'm afraid to put him on 20mg, but that may be what he needs before this is all over. He's already doing better on this increase. My son seems to always be running a slight temp, (anywhere between 98.6-99.2), even though he has low thyroid symptoms, higher reverse t3, and a t3 level that could be better. Our doc said this could be due to inflammation from inadequate replacement of HC. Have you ever heard of having a higher temp and still being hypo? I think he needs t3, but the doc might hesitate due to his temps. Most people that are hypo have lower than normal temps, not higher. Thanks a lot!
