Guest guest Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I think you need to stay on the same lower T4 dose, unitl you get the Ferritin higher. Seleniium is said to help lower antibodies and as yours are very high I would think that is at leat partially responsible for your varying labs. Once you get Ferritin to about 60 or higher,thne I would retest RT3 and Free T3 to see if oyu still need to lower the RT3. Your cortisol, at least on blood labs, looks good. -- 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...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 T4 is a very incomplete hormone to supplement with. Especially with hashimoto's. It is nto the med itself but your body's utilization of it, Isuspect you are making way too much RT3 possily from lwo ferritin or low cortilsl or evn just the high antibodies. I was on T4 only meds for abou 25 years. I never felt wekll at ANY dose. Andin the meantime i got more and moe things wrong from being on a poor replacement med which T4 is. T3 iw the ACTIVE hormone and thus the one you ned to worry abotu I do nto evne consider TSH as it is not a thyroid hormone but pituitary hormone. the pitutary is downregulated in autoimmune thyroid disease and thus very inacurwate to use as a guideline for thyroid replacement. -- 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...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 BTW stopping and restarting thyroi dis VERY hard on your body. It does nto knwo if it is coming or going. This will crash your adnreals sooner or later and then you WILL have first high then low cortisl. THAT ios even worse to deal with than low thyroid. -- 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...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 The hyper symptoms when taking thyroid and stil havign LOW thyroid hormone levels is very liekly from low cortisol. When cortisol is too low to tolerate and use thyroi dproperly, it will release adrenaline. Thsi si not true hyperthyroid but adrenaline symptoms. -- 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...
