Guest guest Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Hi Val- I finally got my rT3 results and would appreciate your comment. I got the result over the phone and forgot to get the unit of measure. Also, I just realized that my local doc ordered T4 and T3 instead of the frees, so I don’t think the info on those will be too helpful. I’m currently on 1.5 grains Armour, 2.5 mg prednisolone, 10 mg HC, and my temps are all over the place and low. Basal has ranged lately from 95.9 to 97 and days rarely average over 98. rT3 = 29 (11 – 32) results from 5/27/08 before Armour or HC: free T4 = 1.1 (0.8 – 1.8 ng / dl) free T3 = 265 (230 – 420 pg / dl) (I know the 5/27 ones won’t be too helpful but included them anyway). I’m going to run over to the local lab and get the frees tested. I can’t believe my local doc (an MD) didn’t understand that you have to order “free” T3 and “free” T4 in order to get the frees. She thought if she ordered T4 and T3 she’d get the free values. And she practices “alternative” medicine. . . Thanks, Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
