Re: Latest labs have me confused

[Guest guest]

But it went down while I was on 25mcg of Cytomel, so I don't think I would be

converting that much T3 then because I'm taking T3 2x a day? T4 went up when I

was taking much less T3? THis is still confusing to me.

So I understand about taking the 25mcg of T3 and the T4 that I take does the

converting.

I'm confused as to why my FT4 was below range on 2 grains of Erfa and 25mcg of

Cytomel, but it was low normal and up on 1 grain only that I took 2 days before

my last labs.

Why would the T4 be down on 2grains after 8 weeks, and then up on just 1 grain

before the test? I was on 2.5 grains 7 days before the test but I dropped off

when i got the heart flutterings.

I know the T4 builds over time, so is it that when I started the 2 grains Erfa 8

weeks was too short a time to show a normal T4 range? And that when I continued

on 2 grains for several more weeks and then upped 1/2 grain 7 days before test

that it built up higher. And even though I dropped 1.5 grains 2 days before the

test, it wouldn't matter because T4 builds and stays in the system?
