Have any of you encountered this situation?
After a few months of Peat diet and some improvements, I still feel a bit lethargic (pulse often 80+ but afternoon oral temperatures in the range 96.9 - 97.8). Last week I decided to start thyroid supplementation (about 10mcg cytoplus T3/T4 in the morning, and 20mcg cytomel T3 during the day - taking no more than 5mcg per hour). The first few days were good - for the first time since I started recording temperatures, I reached 98.6 for a few hours. However after a week my tiredness came back and my temperatures got back to 96.9 - 97.8. Today I tried 1 grain (divided doses) of NDT Thiroyd from Thailand to see if dessicated would make a difference - it didn't.
How would you interpret that? I would have thought that taking some T3 should always increase temperatures within 1-3hours at least temporarily provided I had a good diet (sugar, protein, salt...) - or is it usual not to respond in the first few weeks of supplementation? I know blood tests would be help, but it will take weeks before I can get some - all I know is that before starting thyroid supps I usually had a high-ish TSH of 3 to 6.
Edit: I just took 1 whole grain of NDT at once - it finally raised my temperature to 98.4 (pusle 84). However, it lasted only half an hour before returning to 97.8 - 98.2 (pulse 81).
Edit: I just took 10mcg of T3 and my temperatures dropped to 95.9 for several hours.
