Guest guest Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Hi, I've been diagnosed with Hashi's & am currently on 75 mcg generic levothyroxine. My latest labs show I have an RT3 problem. I was taking 100 mcg at the time due to continuing hypo symptoms but have since cut back to 75: 1/10 labs: TSH <0.01 (0.4-4.5) whoops FT4 2.5 (0.8-1.8) FT3 493 (230-420) RT3 56 (11-32) D3 52 (>30 optimal) (up from 22 in November, supplementing with 4000 iu/day) Ferritin 116 (10-232) (November labs) B12 811 (200-1100) (November labs) I'd like to start on T3 only but am wondering how my adrenals look: Saliva Cortisol test (ZRT) 1/10: Morning 8.2 (3.7-9.5) Noon 2.0 (1.2 -3.0) Evening 0.8 (0.6-1.9) Night 1.5 (0.4-1.0) Should I be taking something to support my adrenals or do they look OK to start T3? I have been taking sea salt for a couple of weeks. I have trouble staying awake past 9 pm & usually wake up once during the night, hot. My temps are low & unstable. My symptoms are fatigue & pain (my knees have been killing me this week). Thanks for any guidance! Deirdre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
