Re: Is it possible that I converted to rt3 again?

I don't know the answer to your question, but I'm just curious what your TSH and

T4 numbers were when you were on 62mcg? I've lately been wondering a similar

question myself.

Ferritin is good and adding more cortisol doesn't help. HELP!

I don't know. I only tested ft3 on 62mcg and it was 3.6 (2.3-4.2). Too low! My doc said he likes to see it at least 5. When I was on 75mcg awhile back(before I cleared), my TSH was .004. Ft4 was .3 (.61-1.76), Ft3 was 4.0 (2.3-4.2), and Rt3 was <17, almost non-existant but I had to go up to 125mcg before temps came up and went hyper. This is why I assumed that at 62mcg, my TSH and Ft4 were pretty much suppressed. I remember your Ft3 is similar to mine.Subject: Re: Is it possible that I converted to rt3 again?To:

I cleared RT3 in November as well. My last labs, on 50mcg, were:

01.05.10 TSH - 0.014 L (range 0.450 - 4.500

01.05.10 T4, Free - 0.17 L (range 0.02 - 1.77

01.05.10 T3, Free - 3.7 (range 2.3 - 4.2)

So I started raising again. But once I got up to 62.5mcg my heart rate shot up,

even though my temps were still below 98.6. I thought the heart rate must be

related to something else so I kept raising. 75mcg seemed to get my temps in the

right place, but my heart rate is still 103. So I guess I need to lower back

down to 56.25mcg I just don't want to. Maybe I'll test FT3 and Ferritin next

week before messing with the dose again.

I doubt you're hyper but you never know. Yes, ferritin and cortisol could be a problem but if a stress dose doesn't help, that's probably not it. This may sound strange but It could be that you're just hypo and when you get enough t3, your heart will calm down. Val has told me this, my heart rate is uncomfortable and heart pounds too, always there for me.
