Guest guest Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Val, I don't know if anybody remembers me (I've been on here for about 2 years). I used to be VERY underweight while I had horrible adrenal fatigue. So I was on medrol for about a year (8mg/day) while on various doses of T3 (50-180mcg_ I was also T3 resistant). I lowered my T3 to 50mcg/day because my doc freaked out about a high T3 number I showed (bc I had JUST taken my T3 right before blood test). I kept medrol the same. Well months later I started getting belly fat and moon face- lowered my medrol and weaned off of it- took about 2 months. By the time I did that, I was hardly EVER stress dosing etc. By the time I ended my medrol, I didn't even ever have shakes etc. So i figured all was good and maybe I had weight gain because (15 lbs) my adrenals kicked in and medrol was too strong now. Well, I upped my T3 to 75 mcg. I have now gained 25 lbs. I gain EVERY week. I have always had good eating habits etc. I dunno what to do. The only other thing I'm on is lexapro (which is supposed to be weight neutral). My ankles are swelling and my feet KILL me. I am gaining water weight like a part time job. Its insane. My fingers are so swollen they hurt. I am also on cipro for a mycoplasma infection (but the water weight started prior to the cipro). I'm really desperate because it hurts to even move at times. My blood pressure is normal (101/70). Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
