With the first increase, my HR popped up but then leveled out by the third day, I believe it was.
But after the second increase, my HR pretty much stayed high. The pounding heart was awful. My temps got up over 99.0 and I was pretty irritable.
So, I just need this T3 to come in the mail. Seriously.
You can read more about my dosing, data and symptoms here.
Last week I took another 24 hour cortisol saliva test. I'm expecting the results this week. I had gone off my adaptogens to clear out my system for the test, and I definitely felt the lack of those adaptogens.
Current vitamins and supplements:
500 mg Rhodiola
500 mg sustained release B6
1,000 mcg B12
20,000 IU D3

Women's Equilibrium (which has some Ashwagandha in it)

sometimes a daily multi-vitamin
Still gluten-free, although not according to strict standards. I don't use a separate toaster or colander from my family. :o)
