RE: Role of pituitary in T3 conversion - anyone help???

[Guest guest]

Hi

There's lots of good stuff on this superb site so it's just a matter of digging

around. However, someone very recently posted this link which is very

informative, so it might be worth starting there:

I'd expect to have a good case for T3 replacement... well, you'd hope! *rolls

eyes* Many thanks in advance.

As you can see, my T3 is remaining subnormal and despite radically overhauling

my diet and going to a personal trainer 3 times a week I cannot lose weight at

all, plus I still have puffy eyes and fingers in the morning, dry skin and pain

in my ankle joints. Probably to be expected given my T3 levels! I get to see

the GP for another blood test next week so can someone explain or point me in

the direction of material explaining the role of the pituitary in converting T4

to T3 so I am forearmed?

Clearly my pituitary is compromised, so if it has a role to play in conversion

I'd expect to have a good case for T3 replacement... well, you'd hope! *rolls

eyes* Many thanks in advance.
