Dear Judy,

Hope you are ok, I am still learning and am NO way an expert but from what we've been learning a high FT4 often strongly indicates an RT3 problem as does a high FT3 (as the RT3 is blocking the receptors and the T3 can't get in the cells and so pools in the blood giving a high reading. So without even needing to see your RT3 result one can guess you have an RT3 problem.

Wow thats a big RT3 reading! How are you feeling?

Your ferritin is quite high which I think indicates inflammation. Best to get a full iron panel done to see whats going on

Might be worth taking some Vit D

What medication are you on, I guessing with these results you should get on T3 alone

Lets see what Val and others say.....

You are in the best place to get help though

Love

Jo

Hi Jo, I'm feeling better. I self-diagnosed my hypo condition 7 yrs ago in 2003

after being continually told I was " normal " most my life whenever I complained

about my symptoms, which were numerous.

I was started on syncrap.(sigh)Actually the best I ever felt was on old Armour

I started that in Oct 08', and felt excellent till the " reformulation " caught up

with me in Mar 09'. Many of my hypo symptoms returned with a vengeance. Now I've

had numerous med changes and started Naturethroid last Dec. Weird that I feel

good huh? Considering my labs. I already take 1000 IU of vit. D3 daily but did

run out about a week before the bloodwork was done. I was surprised my vit. D

was so low. I don't feel old Armour good tho. I get cramps regularly on the top

of my left foot and occassionally in the back of both calves (mostly late at

nite for the calves,)I'm almost bald at the top of the back of my head and at

the nape of my neck, nails are still brittle but not as bad as before, and I'm

back and forth between, consipation, normal and slight diarrea. I gained 60 lbs

in the last 1990s, and have only been able to lose about 27 lbs even with

totally following Ww. I've lost and gained the same 7 lbs for over 9 yrs.!I sure

hope I can find out what's going on.

Gosh I'm sorry to hear about all of this!

I would suspect that your high reading of RT3 is causing these problems and so I would think going on to just T3 will improve things greatly......but best to check with the rest of the group before starting.

Have you tested your adrenals? If you haven't the best thing to do would be to have an adrenal saliva test done, join the adrenal group and post the results there. You may have an adrenal problem thats making things worse

Also If you can get a full iron panel done I think that would be really useful and post the results here and see what everyone makes of them

You may need to take 2000-5000iu of Vit D to get the levels up

Good luck

Hi Jo, I'm feeling better. I self-diagnosed my hypo condition 7 yrs ago in 2003 after being continually told I was "normal" most my life whenever I complained about my symptoms, which were numerous. I was started on syncrap.(sigh)Actually the best I ever felt was on old Armour I started that in Oct 08', and felt excellent till the "reformulation" caught up with me in Mar 09'. Many of my hypo symptoms returned with a vengeance. Now I've had numerous med changes and started Naturethroid last Dec. Weird that I feel good huh? Considering my labs. I already take 1000 IU of vit. D3 daily but did run out about a week before the bloodwork was done. I was surprised my vit. D was so low. I don't feel old Armour good tho. I get cramps regularly on the top of my left foot and occassionally in the back of both calves (mostly late at nite for the calves,)I'm almost bald at the top of the back of my head and at the nape of my neck, nails are still brittle but not as bad as before, and I'm back and forth between, consipation, normal and slight diarrea. I gained 60 lbs in the last 1990s, and have only been able to lose about 27 lbs even with totally following Ww. I've lost and gained the same 7 lbs for over 9 yrs.!I sure hope I can find out what's going on.

Yes Jo, I've read the RT3 section, that's why I ask for my RT3, ferritin, Vit.

D and B12 to be tested. No I don't have any adrenal problem symptoms. Have

already upped my vit. D to 2000 IUs. I want to know now if my RT3 level is a

problem and how to proceed.

OK wiht these labs what thyroid meds are you currently taking? You need ot stop

ALL T4 even what is in natural thyroid. You have a VERY serious RT3 problem. But

your T4 is over range as well so that is feeding ti and at least partially to

blame. You also need ot get a full iron panel done and a test for

Hemochromatosis as oyur ferritin is way too high.

Val, I had my iron tested 10/15/09 it was low. That why I started eating iron

rich food I thought I had an iron deficiency. Then the labs I posted w/RT3 shows

Ferritin, high?

neutrophils 35; 40-74

hemoglobin 12.4; 11.5-15.0

neutrophils(absolute) 1.4; 1.8-7.8

wbc 4.1; 4.0-10.5

iron bind.cap.(tibc) 302; 250-450

iron, serum 65; 35-155

iron saturation 22; 15-55

TSH 0.005;0.450-4.500

I sent the full report but my post seems to have gotten lost, if you need them I

will re-send.
