Heat Intolerance?
My Endo increased my T4 from 100mcg up to 112mcg daily back on 03/17. I started taking "NOW Sports CLA Extreme" on 03/26. On Monday while at the vet, I felt feverish, fatigued, etc. Got home, temp 98.2 (hot for me normal is 96-97). I let it go but it seems that everytime I do anything like go to the store, chores, etc. I feel hot. Is this considered heat intolerance?
Hi, just the typical Hypo symptoms. It's strange because I can't do anything without working up a sweat and feeling hot. So weird. I will probably call my Endo if it doesn't get better soon. I am afraid that I will pass out or something bad will happen.
Sounds more like thyroid hot flashes. What 'heat intolerance' is what I described, you are experiencing something else.
I'm sure more will comment. Any other thyroid symtoms?

I guess what I mean by heat intolerance is that I feel overheated when I do the simplest of tasks. Like I do after I've done a lot of cardio. I have never felt like this before.

Hi - This was the precursor to my current situation (see post RT3/FT3 Ratio Question
by Luvlaughlin, Mar 08, 2010 03:43PM): Update from endo appt today: Endo says typically high RT3 is in sepsis patients in a hospital setting and that he never tests for it and only tested me since I asked for it. He said that my body is utilizing the T4 and that my blood levels show that (see labs on this post). He said if we started T3 it would only confuse my pituitary gland and that it would stop making T3 on it's own. He increased my T4 from 100 mcg to 112 mcg and wants me to get TSH down to 0.3. He said that he will recheck all labs (tsh/ft4/ft3/rt3) in 6 weeks. He said that at that time if there's no change in the ft3/rt3 that we can address it at that time. Am I doing the right thing? He said that since I have anxiety/stress/depression/amongst other issues...that I will be extremely sensitive to the T3 side effects and he is trying to avoid any damage to my heart...does this seem right? I want to believe him but I am just so tired of being sick and tired every day. The symptoms are severe and are ruining my life.
REVERSE T3 RANGE 11-32 ng/dL - RESULT: T3, Reverse: 35 (H)
FREE T3 WITH TRACER DIALYSIS RANGE 210-440 pg/dL - RESULT: Free T3: 232
By the way, here are my other results:
TSH 1.55 - RANGE: 0.35-4.00 uIU/mL
T4 FREE 1.30 - RANGE: 0.81-1.48 ng/dL
T3 129 - RANGE: 58-159 ng/dL
CHOLESTEROL/HIGH DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN 2.7 - RANGE: <4.3

"Is this considered heat intolerance?" No, unless every time you go to the store its really hot outside, (not just how you feel).
Heat intolerance is when you physically cant take high ambient temperatures as well as others. Lets say you cant take heat above 90F like most other people. It makes you feel sick, dehydrated, weak, faint, ect.
It sounds like what you are experiencing is pre hyper hot feeliog or still adjusting to the higher dose of med.
Post your lab #;'s.
