hi,

I'm seeing my doctor on MOnday and I know I 'm going to have a debate on my

hands. I've printed off everything appropriate from Holtorf Med and in the

files section here but what I'm wondering is if there is a reference for the

high FT4 as a marker for RT3 problems (in the absence of RT3 testing which I

can't get up here)

I started to self treat based on 2 sets of labs wherein FT4 was high (1.6 no

meds and 1.88 2 grains ERFA) and FT3 was in bottom 1/3 of range when on no meds.

Since my last blood draw (which Val verified things were proceeding normally)

I've been told from 1 doctor that I'm " using T3 as a stimulant " , direct quote

and yesterday the endo called to tell me I am irreparably harming myself because

I'm suppressing TSH.

my GP is a wonderful family doctor, I need him to help me with IR and don't want

him caught up in the TSH issue.

Is there anything out there that discusses the FT4 as a marker?

This might help, it's in the " files " section:

" RT3 study: higher FT4 and rT3...associated with lower physical function "

Thanks to Ariela for this.
