For now just a summary of my reset attempt and tommorow a follow up and more details
08:30
-have a decent breakfast and some sugared coffee to heat myself up
prepared all the layers of heavy clothing, prepared 5 mcg of T3 and 12.5 mcg of T4, took thermometer and entered a steaming shower
-oral temperature in shower rather quickly shoots up to 37.3°c (99.14°F)
-get out of shower, quickly dry up and dress in the following: shorts, thick long trousers, thick long socks, skiing pants, t-shirt, thin long sleeve shirt, thick long shirt, winter jacket, wool mitts, wool hat
-set up in a small pre-heated bathroom
-initial temperature dips to 36.5°c (97.7°F)
-pop 5 mcg of T3
-within 20-30 minutes temperature shoots past target and lands at 37.3°c (99.14°F)
-start making slight adjustments and taking off clothing, after some fiddling acquire stable temp of 37.0°c (98.6°F)
-maintain stable goal temperature for 15 minutes, measure every 2 minutes
-after 15 minutes, all hell breaks loose
-suddenly pulse increases to 140-150 out of nowhere, sweating, heat waves, feel like fainting
-I take the emergency T4, it doesn't help
-"F this **** CALL 911"
-rush out of bathroom shedding some clothing, quickly go downstairs, temperature bottoms out 36.2°c (97.16°F) like lightning
09:00
-barely get it together, think I'm gonna abandon the whole thing
-make it one last attempt, I put all the clothing back on, go to my room this time, sit in front of the computer and call my brother for support
-I start heating up again, trying to stave off the panic attacks
-Need to keep temperature in control but every time I put the thermometer in my mouth I get a panic attack and my pulse shoots up 40-50 BPM
-My brother tries to distract me as much as possible while I take the measurements, the conversation and browsing helps keep me together somewhat
-After a while I get a lock on 37.0°c (98.6°F) again, had to add a scarf to maintain the temperature
-Feeling incredibly hot (not in the sexy way either) and my body is really fighting the normal body temperature
-Occasional miniature panic attacks as my CMCS tries to overthrow my attempts but it eventually gives in
10:00 - 14:00
-More or less keeping a stable temperature between 36.9 - 37.2°c (98.42 - 98.96°F), still feeling really hot at these temperatures. I realise at this point that the fact that my body feels overheated at a normal body temperature means my temperature set point is indeed low and that my body simply doesn't want this method of operation (but is entirely capable of working it)
14:00
-Have a meal, try to go to the bathroom and take off 5 layers of clothing before losing any degrees
-Still need all this clothing to maintain 37.0°c (98.6°F) but am successful at doing so
15:00
-Suddenly my temperature with the same clothing starts to shoot up to 37.4°C (99.32°F)
-Realise my body has started to cooperate somewhat and is overheating
-Remove the hat, gloves, loosen the scarf, it's still not enough
-Finally had to take off the jacket entirely and now I am again settled on 37.0°C
16:00
-I have some cold OJ and some dairy which cool me off, but within 5-10 minutes I feel my internals flame up again (though the oral temperature takes 10 minutes to show true readings after a cold meal)
-I shoot right back up to 37.0-37.1 (98.6 - 98.78) even after a cold beverage
-Still easily maintaining 37.1 (98.78) without the jacket, scarf, cap or gloves, definitely easier to reach the same temperature at this point with less clothing so something has changed internally since morning
19:00
-temperatures still stable
-pulse has felt fairly high all day, go to take readings
-see pulse is 96 but blood pressure reads 170/80
-miniature panic attack, don't want to measure anymore
-take beta blocker to calm myself down
-before the beta blocker even has a chance to work I take measurements again and after 2-3 measurements once the adrenaline has cleared my pulse is 65 and my blood pressure 135/65
-whew
-lost a bit of temperature while fiddling with the device (had to take my long sleeves off to measure pressure)
-go back upstairs, put on my scarf and quickly heat bakc up to 37.1(98.78)
21:00
-still good
-realise I've successfully maintained 37.0 (98.6) for an entire day with a high pulse. done what I failed to do with thyroid hormones, food, or any supplements combined
-awaiting change of set point to evening temperatures - 36.3°C (97.34°F) - not sure when this is supposed to happen
-hopefully gonna maintain that temperature overnight with blankets and warm clothing
-wait to see what tommorow brings
00:00
-I was supposed to be asleep at this point, but I can't sleep. Steve mentioned needing far less sleep once the temperature has increased and this is more in line to my sleeping habits as as a teen where I went to bed at 2 AM and woke up at 8 AM without a problem. Still disappointing cause I wanted to get proper rest this night
-My temperature did not drop to 36.3 as expected, I had it dip a few times but right now it is at 36.7 (98.06) ° which seems high for a night-time temp and should have dropped to 36.3 according to Steve. Not sure what is keeping the temp up. Perhaps overactive adrenals during night-time as I used to (up until now, will see this night) wake up in the night with a pounding heart and I have heart palpitations daily
-Despite the fact that I am only in my pants right now in a fairly chilly room I can't drop my temperature below 36.6 (97.88)°.
Note for this experiment I am going to drop all thyroid hormones because I already feel hyperthyroid as hell and my pulse is very high. My pulse used to be 50-60. It's been 80+ for the majority of today. Definitely very serious metabolic changes happening in my body as a result of this experiment. It will be interesting to see what symptoms can be hopefully fixed with this.
Stay tuned
