I've posted my story before........4 years ago I "stopped" taking a 6.25 mg potassium iodide supplement.
A week later I went severely hyper----tests showed TSI antibodies (associated with Grave's Disease).
Six months later I turned hypo & have stayed there.
My waking temp has been 97.1 for 3 years now & will not budge.
My highest dose of thyroid was 2 grains NDT, 100 Levo (176 T4, 18 T3).
As far as I could tell it did nothing except effect my labs:
TSH 0.006, Free T4 just above range, Free T3 top of range, Total T4 lower half of range.
One other day I tried taking 8 T3 pills (5 mcg) throughout the day. Absolutely no effect.
What can I do to wake up with a temp of 98?
Of course I'd like to try something that isn't harmful, but is there anything I can do that would guarantee a higher waking temp?
