Little adventures sounds super fun. Yeah I agree, to teach or lead kids, you can’t do it halfway. So I suppose it puts people at risk of sacrificing too many other parts of their lives, time, or energy, and that’s what happened to me. Hopefully I can find more balance moving forward.
Oh whoops, I meant my total T3 is 206, and my cholesterol is very similar to yours. My temperature is pretty ideal, 98.3 upon waking and around 99 during the day, but I’m not getting very much deep sleep, and my digestion still isn’t perfect, which tells me that something is slightly off. I didn’t get reverse T3, but do you think such a high total T3 could indicate a reverse T3 issue? I’m confused on what could be the issue, because my temperatures and cholesterol are good.
Yep, sacrifice is definitely involved. It’s rewarding, but still there is sacrifice. I hope you can find more balance, too.
Gotcha. I was just asking about your reverse T3 to get a better picture overall of what might be going on. I think if anything, a high rT3 would point to high cortisol and/or liver issues. Do you keep track of your pulse? Did you take T3 prior to the blood test? If so, I wonder if that may have skewed your results. I honestly don’t know how accurate blood tests for T3 and T4 are. In my experience, temps, pulse and symptoms have been a better gauge. Is the lack of deep sleep something more recent or have you struggled with it right along?
