Re: Body temp 99 on only 10-20 mcg T3. Will honeymoon last?

August 7, 2010

>If I understand you,Nick, on a T3 only protocol, the TSH should fall toward

zero, my thyroid should almost completely shut down and I will, at that time

have to rely on much more exogenous T3 (how much?) to meet needs. Is that a

reasonable scenario?

you are very hypo and need enough of something, whether it's Erfa or

T3. Without seeing RT3 labs I don't know which way you need to go

>Assuming my Ferritin at 73 and adrenals are ok, my question is what would you

do if you had my numbers? The truth is , although my temperature (99) has

responded to T3, many days I still feel like I am slogging through molasses.

Increase something!

Typical doses for a " full replacement dose " are 3 to 5 grains of Erfa

(60mg per dose) or 75 to 125 of T3 only.
