Yes, agree to take anything further about this to your new lovely group.Yes, if you've been on T3 only at that point it probably hasn't been enough time to clear out all the T4.  Makes sense now and I bet you maybe wrote down the wrong numbers.

Birrdyy, you're now a member!

I will happily do so on the new group. I don't think it would be fair to hijack this one, and certainly have no intention to do so. And of course, everyone here is welcome there as well. All I ask is that when you apply for membership you say you're from this group -- and give your name! I hate it when folks apply to join a moderated group and don't say who they are. It means you have to say " Dear ??? " ))

I believe I have perfected the art of tracking down articles in medical journals I can't afford, and flattering them enough to have them send me the articles for free. LOL

Hmm. Wonder if I wrote the range down wrong. There were a LOT of numbers. I'll go look later. I never allow anyone to 'tell me' my results. I insist on a full copy and keep them all. I can trace every test back five years, so I can compare.

In any event, 1.0 isn't that far off from .8 -- and it is lower than the 1.4 I had at my former blood test in June. It's lower, and that's good. Also, remember I'd only been on T3 for a month before the test. It's clear from everything else though that T3 IS getting into my cells nicely now -- and my RT3 falling my more than half while my FT3 rose beautifully is proof as well.

Looking forward to 'meeting' you on Leptin Resistance!
