Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Kind of very curious about your reaction to this ! :-) Knowing you know a LOT about rT3! I haven't heard from my specialist on this, but it'll be interesting to hear what she has to say as well. Even if she doesn't treat many patients with T3-only, mostly ERFA Thyroid. I am one of her few T3-only patients.Oh yeah, and I wish you all a great weekend, even if you feel bad, guys & gals! Keep it up!FT3 5.5 (as I posted a few days ago) - Fasting on the T3. Took my bedtime dose 9 hours earlier.rT3 0.26 - Lowest I've ever seen it!That makes the ratio a stunning 21.15 !!! - And I no longer have rT3-dominance by blood, per definition! How can it go down so FAST?I am in the end of my WEEK 7 on T3-only. Currently at 30 mcg.I must add that the rT3 was measured in a different lab than the FT3, but they were taken on the same day, at the same time!Should I be happy nor, or?_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Yes from the blod it goes down quickly. BUT from the receptors it stil takes more time. Unfortunately we have no way to measure that except our symptoms temps and pulse. -- 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 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Thanks! I know Val, I've heard you and Nick say it in this group before. It sucks that we can't tell what's going on in the cells. Hope someone finds a way to look into the cells soon.....But I still need to keep upping T3, right? How will I know when to stop upping T3? My temps always show 37.0 C (98.6 F) almost with no exception. Â Yes from the blod it goes down quickly. BUT from the receptors it stil takes more time.
