Triiodothyronine (T3) and possible CFIDS connections

[Guest guest]

Hi Sue and all

I know many of you do not give much importance to adrenal issues but i highly

suggest you to do so. As some of you may already know i am on adrenal support

since 7 years..First day i started it i noticed improvement in my cognitive

function and in some neurological problems like sound and light

sensitivity.Lately i learned some info on reverse t3 issues and started trying

t3.i am much better now. I had a swelling at the left side of my brain and it

lessened a lot after the first dose of t3.

[Moderator: T3 see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triiodothyronine

" s formed peripherally by deiodination of T4 (85%), a process that involves the

removal of iodine from carbon 5 on the outer ring of T4. "

" It is the most powerful thyroid hormone, and affects almost every process in

the body, including body temperature, growth, and heart rate. "

From PubMed:

" TRH and T3 significantly reduced the activity level of factors II, VII, IX and

X; " PMID: 18336749

" Thyroid function is associated with plasma fibrinogen. Decreased serum TSH is

an independent risk factor for elevated plasma fibrinogen levels " PMID: 16303831

I am not following any specific protocol and adjusting the doses myself

according to the messages i am getting from my body,so my information may not be

sufficient to lead you on this subject but i highly suggest you to look into

this subject.

by the way. blood cortisol tests do not reflect what is going on in the body.

so,the fact that you had normal serum cortsiol does not mean you have proper

adrenal functioning.

Similarly you may have normal thyroid tests but still may be suffering from

subclinical hypothyroidism and or high rt3 problem.
