TSH 10.3 uIU/mL .45-4.5 THIS says you may tolerate some T3. When in a totally

intolwerant state the TSH will be VERY supressed. Everyone is differnt in where

their body wil tolerate T4 wiht their low iron but wiht TSH this high I would

certianly be trying some T3.,

> Reverse T3 243 pg/mL 90-350

> Ferritin, Serum 44 ng/mL 13-150

> Triiodothyronine, free serum 3.1 pg/mL 2-4.4

> Thyroxine (t4) 1.12 ng/dL .82-1.77

>

> Cortisol - am 15 ug/dL range 6.2-19.4 Though this is low, we really need a

saliva cortils test to even guess what kinid of treatment oyu would need for it.

Have you tried posting to the main adrenal group? NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS I have never taken Isocort so can't really advise. T3 I started with 6.25mcg 3x a day and slowly increased to 18.75mcg 4x a day <every 4 hours from waking> for a total of 75mcg. For isocort/cortef dosing I would definitely talk to the adrenal group. I am not experienced enough to advise.

What dosage would you start with for t3 and the frequency/time of day? Any recommendations for the adrenals? I have isocort but not sure when/how much to take or do you think I need something stronger like cortef? Thanks for your advice.>> Well your TSH says you are horribly hypo thyroid. That would make you tired. You probably need to start something for your thyroid. My ferritin is only 20 and I am tolerating T3 ok at this point.> Your cortisol is low early in the day. That can cause fatigue and weight loss. I had pretty significant weight loss as my cortisol got worse. > > Kitty> > > > > ____________ _________ _________ __> From: lbb12312 <lisa_boone@

I wasn't taking any t3 yet because my ferritin is low. I have gotten my ferritin up a bit (it went from 18 to 44). I'm wondering what I

might need to be doing now, since I'm feeling so tired and wondering what might be going on. I had started taking isocort and then the doctor told me to stop taking it because I might be allergic to it and the desensitization shots were needed. > > My previous adrenal test back in December was the following:> morning 5.3 morning optimal range 7-10> Midday 2.8 midday optimal range 3-6> Evening 2.6 evening optimal range 2-4> Night 2.6 night optimal range <1.5> > Thanks so much for your help.>
