Guest guest Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Free T4 18.2 (10-22) TSH 0.297 (0.4-4) Free T3 4.09 (2.8-6.5) Reverse T3 0.47 (0.14-0.54) " Within Normal Range " Yes your RT3 is within normal range and this si why we do not use that range excpet as a LOOSE guideline. It si the RATIO of Ft3 ot RT3 that matters and yours is 8.7 WHich si WAY bad. But this could also have been determined just by looking at your FT4. ANYTIME FT4 is over mid range, even a tiny bit, RT3 is going too high. 16 would be midrange with your lab's ranges as yours is over this you are guaranteed ot have high 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 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 >Free T4 18.2 (10-22) Above half range while on natural is a sign that RT3 is probably an issue >TSH 0.297 (0.4-4) >Free T3 4.09 (2.8-6.5) A bit on the hypo side > >Reverse T3 0.47 (0.14-0.54) " Within Normal Range " 4.09/.47 = 8.7. This needs to be over 20. >Any Feedback? Your suspicions are right, you have RT3 issues and are under medicated in terms of T3 levels. If I remember right you are on mainly T4 and a little natural. That is not working for you at all. T3 only is the way to go to start and after 3 months you can consider natural only or natural and additional T3. Additional T4 is not what you need. The site http://thyroid-rt3.com is well worth a read if you haven't already. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 OK those are pretty bad. You will probably need 30-40mg HC daily. I do nto think any amount of adaptogens or glandulars or OTC meds will be enough ot help you. -- 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...
