Guest guest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 My Reverse T3 ratio 2 months ago was 19. I am trying to get my ferretin up from 37. I just started natural thyroid last October after being on Synthroid for 15 years. Here are my numbers from my last blood draw. I calculated my reverse T3 ratio to be 18. So its getting a little worse. I am going to my DR. next week. Should I try the T3 only or just wait and watch it? I feel pretty good. Sometimes I feel a little hyper but I would rather feel that then exausted. I was so tired when I took 1 1/2 grains. From these labs 2 grains might be a little too much, I am slightly high on my T3. My T3 did go done from last blood draw when it was over 5. Any suggestions, or just keep doing what I'm doing?

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 It can take several months to raise ferritin ot a level that is not causing RT3 but T3 onyl is guaranteed to lower it so ti is your choice. -- http://nthadrenalsweb.org/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://faqhelp.webs.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Hi Vicki, If it was me I would go on t3 only. 2 grains is not much and my dad also felt hyper on the same dose. So now he is on t3 only. Me my ratio was only 17 and i still felt great but i decided to just do t3 now instead and get it over and done with. Instead of waiting for my ratio to get worse. You also have to take into account your temps and pulses. Are they where they should be?

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 What T3 dose would I start with and how long should I wait to retest? How do I explain to my Dr. why I want to go on T3 when she is going to say " You have too much T3 " because your labs show yout T3 is high? Vicki > > My Reverse T3 ratio 2 months ago was 19.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Hi Vicki This is Nicks website. http://thyroid-rt3.com/ Make sure your ferritin good before starting. 37 is a bit low. Have you tested your adrenals. Sky To: RT3_T3 Sent: Tue, 6 April, 2010 11:24:39 AMSubject: Re: Help w reverse T3 and my last labs What T3 dose would I start with and how long should I wait to retest?
