Hello to all!
 
 I have been on the Wilson's protocol (sustained-release T3) for almost 6 years now. Overall, it has been very helpful to me. My average has been (for the most part) 90 mcg., twice a day.
 
 Often I will "cycle down" on dosage to see how low I can go before symptoms appear. Usually, anything below 60 and I will feel pain in the costochondrial region, plus I will start feeling (for lack of a better work) "weepy" all the time.
 
 This month I started lowering the dosage again, and I got down as far as 22.5 mcg. (x 2/day); there was no pain at all in the costochondrial region, but my state of mind was . . . not good. So I raised the dose gradually. A funny thing happened at 52.5 mcg. I was still weepy, but my temperature in the AM (10:00 pdt) was 98.6 F.
 
 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?
 
 Best to all,
 
 Edward Reisman
