Guest guest Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I believe I have an RT3 problem, but I'm baffled by what might have caused it. If I have calculated correctly, I have a ratio of 18.4%, which means I need to clear RT3. TSH <.006 (0.450-4.50) FT4 1.44 (0.82-1.77) FT3 4.2 (2.0-4.4) RT3 228 Ratio = 4200/228 = 18.4 Ferritin 101 B12 over 2000 (don't panic - I've been doing Myers Cocktail IV's and although this specimen was taken over 24 hours after a Cocktail, they are full of B12) D3 96.3 (32-100) this was from a January lab test I know Val says we need to find the underlying cause. Any suggested causes? I will tell you that when I posted to the Adrenal group Val saw my FT4 and told me I probably had a RT3 problem so I dropped my NTH after the specimen was taken by 1 whole grain and started feeling better immediately - but not optimized - but much better and no side effects from dropping by 1 whole grain. My adrenals are stable on 30 mg HC with temperatures between 98-98.2. So, if I understand correctly, I need a course of T3 only starting at an amount equivalent to my 4 grains of NTH or 37.5 mcg T3. Do I divide this in to equal amounts and would I take that with my HC doses? Please advise ... and thank you so much! Peaches_II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
