Panic not, you have been caught out by the decimal point.

Your ratio is 118 which means you have virtually no Rt3 in the serum

I can't remember how long you have been on T3, has it cleared in the

receptors yet, if not hang in there

Wowwww,Nick is that right! Ratio 118.I can't belive it! Nick,since the FT3 and

RT3 are in a different units pg/l and ng/l don't I have to move the decimal

point for the FT3? I have been on T3 for 6 months but I'm still very bad.If you

remember I'm the one having truble to raise the T3 more then 50mcg and now back

to 35mcg.Do I feel so bad because my FT3 is still low or what? I know from 22

years experience I'm still very hypo. I'm trying to understand what is

happenening and what is holding me on of getting good to normal and still

running into a brick wall lately with no explanation and answer why,I can't

raise T3?

thanks

Val,that is very good news then.Then should be just the matter of time /t3 to

get to the receptors.I appreciate so much you pusshing me on staying on T3

only.When I feel so bad and nothin gmakes sense I'm easy to go with anything and

try just to see if will help.I just need to find some explanation on why I'm

still very hypo even though of this test and still can't raise the T3.I'm

willing to belive is all adrenal even on such a high dose of HC and that's why

probably it's not getting to the cells.Before I started the florinef all of the

pufinnes I thought is high cortisol but it turnos out is electrolytes. I just

don't know if I shudl try going higher on HC and I need your help Val.

thaks so much

Nick,

thank you for your help.I'm not able to clear my head still form the fog.So,I do

have FT3/RT3 118 but still not feeling with enough energy and cleared the hypo

problems. I'm 6 months on T3 like I said but on a very low dose.Do you think I

need a time to clear the receptors nd if not being able to raise the T3 more

then 40,45mcg is a matter of time to get to receptors or for this to happen I

need higher dose to get my levels in th etop range of FT3?

thank you so much for your help
