100mcg of T3 and more hypo like the beginning....

[Guest guest]

Mods,

I think I have read other reports that there is a point right before you clear

that you feel more hypo.

I am on 40mg of HC and have been on it quite some time. I also take iron and

have been on that for several months due to my ferritin being low.

My initial RT3 was an 8.

I have been slowly increasing my T3 I believe since March. I am now at 100mcg.

I have hypo symptoms as if I am not even on T3 or don't even have enough thyroid

hormones. I am tired, hard time breathing, achey, dry eyes, dry hands and feet,

feel like crap. Like I want to throw the towel in because I fear if I increase

the more hypo I am going to get. That is what seems to be happening.

My pulse seems fine, my heart rate is steady and normal, but sometimes, usually

around bedtime it will beat a little harder, but by the time it is ready to get

up I feel my heart skipping beats and going slow. My adrenals don't seem to be

struggling. I don't have any dizzy spells, etc..., the kind of adrenal stress I

used to have. I am mostly hypo.

My temps have been going down during this hypo epidodes. I used to have an

average at about 98.0 and never seem to get it any higher. There are times like

yesterday I felt really great, but then I become so hypo. Today, my morning

temp was 97.8, then the rest of the day it stayed at 97.1, which is uncommon for

me to have. Even when I took my T3, it stayed at 97.1. I even tried to stress

dose a little of HC to see if it increased my temp but it doesn't, in fact I

don't even feel a lift. Why I do not think it is low cortisol.

I wonder if I ever reach clearance I may be in for a ride.

Any thoughts on this?
