Just some thoughs from my experiment with T3 supplementation:
It took about 2 months of supplementing 2/3 times per day to get rid of most of my symptoms, with increasing doses.
(and at first I worsened when taking 2/3 doses/day)
My heart rate staid between 62 and 81/mn, although it can be easily increased by stress, and I also noticed that taking prednisolone lowered it.
I also noticed that my heart beat seems stronger when taking T3, so sometimes you can feel your heart beat is quicker, although it is only stronger.
You have to check the real HR count to monitor your T3 effect.
The effect you will have from a one shot trial will be the quick non genomic effect, whereas the long run effect with 3 doses/day will be the genomic effects. The later effect is longer to come, and probably more sensitive to thyroid resistance, so it worth doing a long trial, as long as your heart rate is fine.
How much is your heart rate before and during the 8 hours following your T3 intake?
