Im about to start back on T3 again after being off for 10 weeks. I’ll be using Tiromel 25mg. Should I start on 1/4 a day and after how many days do I increase again. My memory is so bad I can’t remember exactly how I did before .

Well, the general wisdom is to start low and go slow. Yes, start on a 1/4 grain a day and take your pulse (and blood pressure (BP) if that is not too inconvenient, that will be your baseline. I would say after one week increase it ti 1/2 grain and keep repeating the pulse and BP measurements. At some point you will feel well - stop there. If you feel well but your pulse is racing and/or your BP is high then drop back to your previous dose. Some people also keep track of their temperature, that is a good thing to do but it didn't work for me, I stayed low all the time. Maybe staying "cool" doesn't matter too much but fast pulse rate or high BP does matter.
