RE: rT3?

[Guest guest]

Well, obviously

something is going along that is stopping you from feeling 100%. You say your iron,

zinc, magnesium, Vit C are good, but you need to post those results to us here

so we can help with their interpretation. It really DOES matter where in the

range these are. We need to know specifically where your levels of ferritin,

vitamin B12, vitamin D3, folate, magnesium, copper and zinc levels lie so

get these results from your GP. You should be taking at least 4/5000 vitamin D

daily.

Doc is wrong, you

do NOT have to bring your TSH up. Why would you need ANY thyroid stimulating

hormone when you are taking both T4 and T3 - obviously your pituitary recognises

you have sufficient of these in your blood so it has no need to secrete any

TSH. There is NO evidence that having a suppressed TSH will cause you

osteoporisis and I am afraid your GP is spouting rubbish he has read elsewhere,

but would not be able to explain it to you if you asked him - nor would he be

able to supply any scientific evidence to prove this would happen.

As far as headaches

and hypothyroidism are concerned, check out this link http://headaches.about.com/od/comorbidconditions/a/thyroid_comorb.htm

and also http://www.medical-library.net/hypothyroidism.html.

Also, check out http://www.headacheexpert.co.uk/ThyroidDiseaseAndHeadaches.html

You will find a

link in the latter you will find a link where you can take part in a clinical

trial http://www.clinlife.co.uk/lpg/1103/1?gclid=CNC0jOGGlKcCFQgMfAodHlblcQ

Your rT3 is still

within the reference range even though it is near to the top. How are you

managing to take 6mcgs T3 - or should that read 60mcg T3.

Luv - Sheila

FT4 18.7 normal range 11-25

FT3 5.5 normal range 3.5-6.5

TSH <0.01 normal range 0.30-5.50

I'm taking 4 grains of Erfa and 6 mcgs of T3 per day. I feel no hypo/hyper

symptoms…unless I'm put under physical/emotional stress.

I sent off some blood to Genova for rT3 testing…I thought this maybe an

issue, the results:

rT3 serum 32.6 normal range 9.0-35ng/dl

There wasn't any ratio given on the result, just the above. It looks to me like

this could be my problem..?? Help…am I correct?

Hi Sheila,

Thanks for your reply, I have Cynomel from Mexico 25mcgs I split it in 4 and

wanted to try it to see whether the 4 grains of Erfa needed a little help. I

don't really notice any difference with or without it. I haven't increased it

anymore.

I will get the results of my blood test and post them....I should have thought

to do this, sorry. I remember my copper is just slightly high and my Vit D is

just below norm range....endo said don't worry It's winter.

I read somewhere that you have to very careful what Vit D you take, It has to be

D3....where can you buy or what brand contains just Vit D3?

Thanks for your help,
