My RT3: 160 (90-350)

FT3: 5.4 (2.0-4.4) High

FT4: 0.76 (0.82-1.77) low

Total t3: 237 (83-200) High

Cortisol: 28 (6.2-19.5) High

Ferritin: 90

D: 57

YAY you ar converting properly again. I have read that Erfa is slightly higher

in T3 and lower in T4 than Amrour was, so that may account fo rthe differnt

readings btu also gettign your ferritin up is allowing your body to convert

properly. Cortisl HSOULD be high after takign a HC dose. Thsi si normal and

expected but now that your Rt3 issue is on the down hill side (your ratio is now

33.75) you may have MUCH less adrenal stress and actuall ybe able to lower HC a

bit. Did you stop Iron ofr 5 days before this testing? If nto it may be falsely

elevated, but if oyu did do the test coorrectly, this is great! Qnd I woudl stoo

the iron as wiht good FT3 levels you should be able to now hold onto that

ferritin.
