Re: Re: Temps Refuse To Come Up - New Labwork?

Resistance means that the thyroid doesn't get into the cells, but stays swimming in the blood. My T3 levels got way too high with no hyper symptoms. If you're on a small dose of T3, it might pool in the blood and give you a false normal. Sent from my iPad

Those labs were drawn before I found out that my iron was low. I had falsely elevated ferritin too from inflammation in my neck/spine. But I've since raised my iron, so that should no longer be an issue. And my chiropractor thinks we're getting close to fixing up my spine issues, although they're not gone yet. That's one reason I was thinking of running new labs - to see if my TSH has come up any. But I doubt my FT3 is much different from such a small dose change. Unless resistance can affect FT3 levels too? I'd just rather not spend $90 on new thyroid labs if they're not gonna help.
