Re: weight / test results vs. actual progress

[Guest guest]

Your RT3 test result may go down very quickly...but early tests are not

accurate, as there is still RT3 blocking the receptors, and there is no test for

that. It usually takes about 12 weeks for the receptors to clear; so RT3 tests

are not particularly useful before then.

I may have missed your earlier posts, have you checked that your adrenals and

ferritin are in good order to start T3?

And Nick's reference to ferritin: " 50 or over "

This page also has great info on the gradual T3 increase procedure.

Cytomel for Reverse T3? I start tomorrow. I have gained 30 lbs this past year

and a half. I want to feel better, but have to admit, I would LOVE to lose some

of this weight.
