Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Val, Thanks for you help yesterday. I took 10mg extraHC and it did help me a lot. So my question is can you help me figure out how much HC I should be on now. I had weaned down from 60mgs. ( and that was way back) from Oct. To March I weaned down to 10mg. I had been there at 10mg from about March till May. I went to a doc here that knosw a lot about thyroid and adrenals and hormones and he said that was way to low for me and raised me up to 20mg. Oh he raised me because I was having all the weird fear that I had never had before like I was afraid to have my Mom and Dave leave me alone to go to the store and didn't like to go in the shower, and afraid I would be so sick like I was last summer and have to be in the hospital. The HC raise stopped all that goofy thinking. But then I started loosing my potassium again. So it doesn't seem like 20 is enough now. I am still only on 40mcgs of cytomel and taking 6 iron a day to try to get ferritin up so I can raise cytomel. I know that is terrible low for someone with no thyroid. So I am really working on ferritin. So what do you think about HC. I feel kinda good when I woke up and took HC at 7:00 but around 10:30 I started feeling shakey and sick again.
