TSH testing on RT3 protocol

[Guest guest]

Hi, I was just wondering if it's a good idea to test TSH while on the RT3

protocol. My doc requested Free T4/T3 and RT3 but didn't include TSH and I

wanted to know if it's necessary to see if the thyroid is suppressed.

Thanks!

If FT3 is under range then your thyroid is suppressed successfully.

TSH will show if thyroid is pooling, due to low ferritin or cortisol,

but is not useful apart from that.

A reading of around 0.01 is an optimum TSH

Did you mean if ft4 is under range, your thyrooid is suppressed?

Doesn't very low TSH also show that your thyroid is sucessfully suppressed or

not?
