Hi Folks,
I have been struggling with what seemed like over replacement symptoms and yo-yoing temps. I have asked about this before but have some additional symptoms. My last bloods did register over the range FT3, normal T4 and suppressed TSH.
I lowered dose after reading about pooling and some of the adverse symptoms did reduce. Janie Bowthorpe suggests HIghT3 with hypo-like symptoms is most likely pooling. I felt hypo with hyper-like sweating and reduced from 3 grains to 1.5 with good effect quite quickly.
My worry at the mo is that over the last few days I get bouts of sweating...usually on exertion, freezing cold later in day...that cold right inside that feels like it might be more neuro. I dunno. I have had slight nausea too. Last night I had waves of weak feelings which worried me. Hard to describe. This morning I stood up from pc seated and felt weak for a few moments. Yet again..hard to describe. I have also been working hard out side for a number of hours each day and getting chilled. I can't seem to take any cold temps. Last night my Blood Pressure and pulse rate were low. As per usual. I can always feel when it raises - usually after the t3 hits, and not for long. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with adrenals or I just need to rest up for a while?
I am on Vit D for low ferritin (30) - Spatone natural water iron, as well as other supps.
Thyroid hormone currently: NDT at 2 grains am and about 5 mcg t3 at tea time just to get me through the evening. It does seem to calm things down. Should I hold this dose for now?
Grateful for any thoughts.
