THANK YOU NICK!!! It happened overnight!

Glad to hear it

>1) I believe this RT3 problem happened due to a beta blocker that I was taking

for seizures. I've stopped that med. Do you think that I will be able to get

back to Thyroid S, if so how long before I can?

I would go thee full three months plus a bit on T3 only before going

back to Thyroid S. You will find you need weekly increases as T4

decays away and you get less from conversion.

Give any receptor blockage a chance to clear before trying anything

involving T4

>2) If you can, please give me a guess as to what my #'s will look like when I

go back to dr. in May. On the Thyroid S, I had supressed TSH .22 free T3 was

high, T4 normal range. I'm not looking for actual numbers, just wonder how much

the dr. will " scold me " , what will go up, what will go down.

Ft3 to of range or a bit over, TSH suppressed more, maybe 0.1.

FT4 below range

Hi ,

The mods don't recommend 's treatment cause it is hard on adrenals. There

is mod protocol on www.thyroid-rt3.com. Were you on adrenal supports when you

got the saliva test done? 62 for AM looks funny, are you missing decimal place?

Did you have Reverse T3 tested? Mods can say if you might have RT3 problem based

FT3 and FT4 labs. Are you on thyroid medication? The mods would need to know

what and how much to give advice.

hope this helps,
