Hello all,
I wanted to see if anyone here has any knowledge or experience about T3 causing fatigue and other strange symptoms? I currently started taking sustained release T3 for the Wilsons Syndrome protocol. My doc said I definitely needed the T3. I am having some unsettling symptoms though. Number one is I can't seem to up my dose from two pills a day, 12hrs apart, which is 7.5mcg a pill. You are supposed to go up a pill each dosing a day until you start hitting 98.6 regularly and then the amount of pills you are taking is your set dose. The second one is I get heart palps after my evening dose only. When I tried to go up, I got a little anxiety and heart palps, which is why I can't go up in dose. Like I said before, it's only after my evening dose. My doc said to stay at that dose for a while, and try again. I've been on that dose for two weeks. Then there is number three, I get super sleepy in the after noon. I never used to have this issue before. I also can't keep my eyes open after 9pm and normally I have to make myself go to bed, which is usually 11pm. I have also gained 4 pounds which I believe is water because I am very puffy. Before this I was starting to go down in weight after having gained 10 pounds from the wrong hormone protocol. I had finally got my estrogen calmed down with progesterone. My appetite has gone up as well. I'm already 20 pounds overweight.
The positives are, my easy bruising stopped, my flushing went away and the redness in my skin is going away. I am assuming that I did need some T3, but I don't understand my bad symptoms and what is keeping me from going up in dose. My temp is still averaging 97.7 and goes into low 98's in the eve. Since I've been on the T3, my temps have stayed out of the 96's. I originally started it because I had almost every low thyroid symptom. One thing I did read, is if your adrenals are weak, you can have problems. I bought some raw thyroid glandular last week and I already take several adrenal support nutrients. I can't tell a difference. Still having the overactive reactions. Any ideas or suggestions? :)
