T3 and urethral /vulvodynia pain increase?

Hello. I have been a patient of the Ultra Wellness Center here in the states for several months. (You may have heard of Dr Mark Hyman? This is his clinic.)

I have very slowly been titrating up compounded T3 only. They have me going in 3.5mcg capsules. When I got to four capsules, I noticed that my urethral syndrome /vulvodynia pain increased a bit. When taken up to 5 tablets very strong increase in pain and symtoms of over medicated so now back down to four capsules and pain is still rather tough.

I have never read any connection between T3 compounded irritating in such a way. I'm hoping it is a coincidence that I'm having a flair as I had no problems when taking one, two or three capsules...So I'm rather worried that it will come down to having to decide to have energy with more pain or go back to barely getting out of bed with less pain. Don't even want to go there emotionally.

Problem is, blood tests on three capsules showed I have a way to go but I can just tell that the 4 capsules are doing something good and Im sure the bloods will reflect this.

Has anyone had this experience? All I've read is such symtoms getting better with T3.

Thankyou for reading my first post. I've been reading all the wonderful sharings.

Always, Gianna

Thank you very much. I'll keep watching.

Never had compounded T3, but A much higher dose of Tiromel than you are taking didn't cause any pain or symptoms for me even though (before bio HRT) I used to get quite a lot of pain and also stress incontinence. Perhaps you need to stick on the current dose for a while before increasing and get your sex hormones checked as well.
