Question re: Dosing w/Hashi's and Clearing RT3

[Guest guest]

Hi all, don't know if anyone can give me guidance. I'm going to doc again for

regular lab interpretation. Last time (1/9) my RT3 ratio was about 11%,

improved from 8.26 in November's labs.

At my January visit my doc said, circling the Hashi's antibodies values on the

copy of the test results for impact -- 'we don't treat using these values' (she

has been pretty open to letting me guide her away from using TSH alone to

treat(mine was down to 0.01), but how do I help her understand (which I tried to

do in January) that when you have Hashi's, you absolutely cannot use TSH as a

guide, you MUST realize the importance of Hashi's antibodies levels. Results

from January were:

TPO i - 193 (up from 166 in July 2009)

Tg Ab - 68 (up from 46 in July 2009, and 64 in August 2009)

I am on 50 mcg of T3 only, daily.

Thanks a lot for any help you guys might provide.

Is there a Hashi's group on Yahoo, does anyone know?
