Hi,

I was just going to ask how you were going.
You got the expected results..just ask about adding it gradually ..like 5mcg every week until 15mcg t3 ..then 2.5mcg every 2 or 3 weeks until you feel right. It's good to monitor your blood pressure and temperature too..gives you an indication of just how much you need and when you are OK to increase your T3 amount.(how fast or slow to increase and whether you need to increase)
Actually that 25mcg seems maybe like a reasonable amount (if that is what you need) ..in the long run. I know girls on almost twice that (not many admittedly). I'm on a perhaps a tad more myself..if you do the conversions.
Some people go better on more T3 and some on more T4.

I assume your headaches stopped within a couple of days of stopping the T3? (that's what good about the short half life)

BTW How long after your T3 meds did you have your blood test?

Good luck...thyroid meds ain't easy to take..which when you consider thyroid hormones affect most almost everything in our body..
