Guest guest Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hello, I need some input plzzz. I have been going to the Holtorf Medical Group here in Northern California. I have RT3, and originally, I was on 6 Grains of NT, over about a 5 month period my doctor has reduced my NT and added, slow release T3. My last visit ,April 1st, I was put on 75 mg of T3 and 2 Grain NT, after two weeks I called for him to up it to 100 mgs, thankfully he did. But I am more hypo than I have been since I started seeing him. Should I just suffer it out like I have all these years or what? I am confused, do people with RT3 get worse before getting better when trying to get rid RT3. I am at a loss. I think I need more T3. In about a month I have blood work and then an appointment in June but I dont want to suffer that long. Holtorf has been the best place I have found so far, but I am getting desperate enough to get my hands on some T3. Thank you folks for your help.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Ellen, If you have RT3 dominance you will want to get off of NT completely. Have you done a cortisol saliva test and have you had your ferritin tested. Those are two things that could cause problems on thyroid meds. If you have those tests I suggest you post the results so the moderators can help you. I would suggest you read Nick's RT3 website at: http://thyroid-rt3.com There is a lot of good info there and it's a good place to start. --Steph > > Hello, > > I need some input plzzz.
