I think you are definitely on the right track getting an RT3 test. I understand Eltroxin is equivalent to Synthroid, which many here have had RT3 (and other) troubles with. I don't see a ferritin test result. I think it would be useful to get a ferritin test as well as a full iron panel. So many on this group are low in iron, which adversely affects thyroid utilization.Also, don't miss reading Moderator Nick's essential RT3 website, here's the link: http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/The usual cortisol saliva test recommended is the 4x/day. Are you a member of the adrenals group? We have a little more of an RT3 focus, they are all about cortisol/adrenal issues.
