My FT4 is .26 and am fully supressed on TSH. I do nto believ it is

possible to totally supress T4 in people that have a thyroid. Mine is

barely functional but stil keeps this tim=ny bit in the blood inspite of

F3 at 6.2

OK, so you are saying that it is possible to do this T3 therapy with the small amount of T4 circulating in the bloodstream that I have?

Absolutely! When T4 is below range it is less liekly to make enough Rt3

to really cause or continue and issue.

Thank you very much for that clarification. I was going to stop my iodine treatment because I thought it might be causing the T4 and I was not very happy about that because I have Fibrocystic Breast Disease with mega-nodules, etc and I am in a high risk category for breast cancer.

I had a good look at my labs since 2000 last night and I realised that my T4 was probably way above range for years. After a few initial tests for T4 just after my diagnosis my doctor only tested for TSH and when finally I got another doctor to give me a full thyroid panel last year I found out that I was way over the top.

I am going to take a leaf out of Nic's book and try and relieve the stress on my adrenals by taking iodine in two goes. Then I think I should do something about my electrolytes. I am also waiting for results of my ferritin blood test. I was 180 in September 2009. I have supplemented with really low doses since then but I have started eating organic beef after 15 years without eating a piece of beef (as far as I know!).

Thanks once again for the reassurance. Hope this message finds you well,

MacG.

, my doc gave me potassium iodide for cystic mastitis. I took seven drops

for over a year and no more lumps! I don't really know the difference between

that form and Lugols, do you? --Irene
