Guest guest Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Have you had ferritin tested? How about saliva cortisol? COunldn't help but nmotice you are Diabetic, you wer aware of that? Blood sugar issues can definitel yCAUSE Rty3 to go high. If you can get an RT3 test it would be good. But lwo ferritin an dor low cortils can defintily cause havoc with thyroid as well. I also see very high liver enzymes, do you knwo the cause of this? The liver is responsible for muchof the conversion of T4 to T3 so it may also be a player in your issues. BTW doing some research for my CAT with fatty liver disease several years ago I found TONS of studies about T3 and the liver. It seem T3 helps the liver regenerate. It certainyl worked for him! I out him immediately on T3 an with the vet telling me he had about a 10% chance of survival, he si fine now 2 years later and stil on 150mcg T3. -- 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 March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Val, in what way can blood sugar issues cause rT3? I am very interested on this topic because I also have sugar issues. Would controlling sugar problems prevent rT3 from rising again after it is cleared? > > Have you had ferritin tested? How about saliva cortisol?

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Yes, I know that I am (was) in the “diabetic” range. I have had high glucose levels for about 6 years but I can’t tolerate any of the diabetic medications (they make me very ill). For now we’re treating with diet and exercise and watching it carefully. Ferritin, calcium, etc. are all normal as per tests for those in October/November 09. As I wrote yesterday, I have had the saliva cortisol test done and am waiting for Dr. P’s office to send me the results (he kept them when I saw him 5 weeks ago). I do not tolerate even one Adreno-Lyph well now – one will make me hyper for hours. I have started progesterone cream (just yesterday).

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 >I'm pretty new on the t3 site (been on TPA for 2 years). Hello and welcome from another UK person.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Thanks Nick! I am now in the UK; I am from the US but we moved here almost 3 years ago. I am having a difficult time finding the right medication and the right dose to be on. I can’t seem to tolerate T4 and now we’re trying a little T3. I hope my endo approves! I do hope, too, that the progesterone cream will help balance things out. I appreciate the welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
