Hyperglycemia symptoms from increased T3 dosage

The thing I noticed about t3, is that I had to keep raising my dose to feel the same.

A few things happened, however:

1. It raised my cortisol very high.

2. It raised my SHBG, which lowered the rest of my hormones along with high cortisol causing cellular resistance to cortisol and other hormones.


I still think it can work if someone is truly deficient, but it's hard to mimick the bodies natural production. Some people have to work up to very high levels of t3.

:ill:
At least it is making me quit my SSRI. I am already at 1/2 dose every other day :thumbsup:

But have increased it only once so far. Of course my body is begging for more. I am trying to take the gut route, but that is the longer path :meh:

Please expand on that in terms of symptoms since I don't have recent blood tests to know for sure.
