How long have you been on T3??

The experience here is it takes about 12 weeks plus or minus a week

from when you get rid of T4 in the mix to when receptors clear if you

have resistance.

I don't know enough of your history, what are you on and has it

cleared all hypo symptoms? If you are free of hypo symptoms and on a

" normal " dose of thyroid support then there isn't a problem, carry on

with what you are doing.

If your RT3 was a bit high but you didn't have appreciable resistance

then the changes you made were enough.

Those of us who have had RT3 at high levels for any length of time

have resistance to thyroid hormone, this is from the blocked

receptors and it takes probably 6 weeks from when the serum levels are

MUCH lower than the bottom of the range for these receptors to clear.

Ah, lost track of where you were!

" Most people " on natural need 3 to 5 grains with it spread through the

day a bit so it sounds like you are just getting into dose.

If your ratio improved through getting enough T3 in the natural then

you almost certainly don't have the long standing resistance that a

lot of us have had.

Good luck with your quest for health.
