Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Hi Choco-pal of mine. Ok, if you are at 3 grains, and have only been there for a few days, it can be wise to hold that at least 4 weeks to allow the buildup of the T4 and see it's results. What were you on before the 3 grains?? If you went from 2 to 3, that's a large raise with good results to come....and holding could be good. Or, if you went from 2 3/4 to 3, for example, and feel that bad, I could see another raise to 3 1/2 grains or so.........and then holding. And as far as the question about increasing or not--I personally would NEVER EVER do that...and be prepared to move on. Period. My thyroid advocacy slip is showing there. Wal Mart has this HUGE 5 lb. Hersheys chocolate bar.................
