Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 These look exactly like my labs...making you a candidate for T3 therapy. I think they will ask you about your Ferritin and B12. Oh, I see it, your ferretin is high enough for T3 therapy. I assume your on HC for adrenals?? That would be the other factor for doing t3 only. My ft4 was. 9 ft3 3.3 rt3 36 tsh 1.79 and I'm on 1/2 grain too. I'm a long way from being Val or Nick, but you seem to be in the same boat I am in. Needing t3 therapy.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 fT4 0.98 (0.70-1.80) fT3 3.2 (1.7-3.7) RT3 38 (11-32) What lab did these tests? Normally the FT3 USED to be higher than this is why I am asking. The FT4 is right where it has always been for year but I am more and more seeing these lower FT3 ranges and they are ridiculous! FT3 range SHOULD go to 4.2 which would make more sense wiht your low T4. But meanwhile you have a pretty severe RT3 problem. You rratio would be 8.42 and needs ot be at least 20. So you do need ot go on T3 only to claear ou tthat excess RT3. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 This was Sanford Labs which is just the lab of the big medical conglomerate here. They own about every hospital and clinic within the state of SD and in SW Minnesota/NW Iowa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Anyone's guess! I tried fo r15 years wiht just Amrour or Armour and T3 nd never felt good till I went to JUST T3, but that doesn;t mean someone else can;t do it. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Some yes and for reasons that reverse the process naturally. But some of us seem to get STUCK in RT3 mode, we donlt knwo WHY btu that it happens is a fact. I am there. I have tried even after clearing my RT3 comokletely out to go back ot natural thyroid and the RT3 goes high very quickly agian so I am on T3 for life or untilk this is figured out. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
