Hi,
I have low temps. Previously I have tried NDT and T4. However I find I feel best on T3. However T3 still does not raise my temperature to 37deg/98.6. I am usually at 36.7deg C.
In the last couple of months I have tried raising my T3 dose to try and get my temperatures up. I have raised T3 to over 150mcg per day, however my temperature is still low.
My diet is very good. I get a lot of sugar, milk, Oj etc and always have. My cholesterol goes under-range on such a high dose of thyroid. However if I lower thyroid it goes back up.
What could be stopping T3 raising my temperature? AFAIK t3 does not convert to Rt3, only T4 does. What is happening to all the T3 I am taking??
