Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I am still not feeling very well after starting Cortef and Armour. I have ordered a RT3 test, along with FT3, FT4, and TSH to try to figure out what it going on. I have seen some say it is necessary to have the RT3 and T3 values to calculate if the patient has an actual RT3 problem, others say you need the FT3 and RT3 to calculate this. Just to save time, and since I have already ordered the FT3 test, do I need to order a T3 test as well??? And exactly what are the symptoms of someone suffering from excessive RT3? Thanks, Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 You can get it from taking too much Armour, but it is not a false positive. If oyu have too high RT3 lowering the Armoru most liekly wil not get rid of it. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's new territory for me, but my doc understood as soon as I told her and she was fine with all T3, but she, too wanted me on Armour until I showed her this and some other links about no T4. Best Wishes... -Kris Kris and Bob Brunkhorstbkbrunk@... Thank you SO much for this.
