Re: High RT3 and Iodoral

[Guest guest]

I am not sure about the iodoral... but I do think you need more iron

to help you.

There is a good article on the importance of iron to you thyroid at

stopthethyroidmadness.com. And you might want a complete iron panel

the next time they test so you can see your saturation levels.

Keep on taking Vit. D if you do, I have heard doctors advise to get

it over 75...

Hi, Group.

I've been on the Iodoral companion supplements from Hakala

almost 2 weeks now. Will it be alright for me to start

Iodoral 50mg with my RT3 issue? By taking Iodoral, will it

increase my RT3 levels even higher? I'd like to start

Iodoral because I am Bromide toxic at 26.

Free T3 to Reverse T3 ratio=7.8

Endo has me on 112mcg Levoxyl daily.

Recently saw a ND and she prescribed Armour 1 grain x 5

weeks, do labs, and schedule follow up.

I'm in the process of finding a doc to prescribe Cytomel

only.

With my ferritin being so low, should I stay on Levoxyl?

Or take the Armour (which I started on 3/17)?

Do I need to bring my ferritin up before even trying

Cytomel?

Thank you in advance for all replies:)
