Not to oversimplify things, but is the fact of getting to 98.6 F the signal
to stop, even if I don't feel so good? >>>>
When I was in Medical School, the joke was that you could get a shaved
gorilla through Med School; if you could teach it to say, "It varies."
In answer to your question and in my humble experience, it varies.
Using an average daytime temperature of 98.6 F to limit sustained release T3
increases, in general, is a fairly good indicator; but it varies from person
to person.
You can have a normal or higher temperature and still do well with further
increases of T3.
Common reasons for this exception include: 1. an ongoing inflammatory
problem such as Fibromyalgia, Thyroiditis, or some other autoimmune problem; and 2.
fever from an infection. Also, if people have been on T4, I've seen them
improve on T3 in spite of a "normal" temperature.
Hope this helps.
