Re: BUMP VAL Or NICK 5 week on T3 Only- Labs

[Guest guest]

>I just received these results this morning and would really appreaciate any

advice anyone can give me. I took the test a little over a week ago, so my

levels have probably gotten worse since. I'm anxious to get an opinion. I'm a

little freaked out right now as I'm not sure how to interpret these. It appears

I'm reducing T3, and my TSH is really low. I can post my labs from right before

I started to compare the results if that would help.

Thank you!

I would not raise T3 any higher at this point. It is pooling which

simply menas the Rt3 is firmly in the receptors still. Wit your TSH this

low there is something stil lwrong that is not allowing the T3 to work.

Have you done an iron panel?

Thanks Val, I had iron looked at at the end of April at that time they were:

Total Iron 118 range 40-175

Iron Binding capacity 382 range 250-450

% of Saturation 31 range 15-50

I have not checked my ferriton yet.

I am going to also recheck my adrenals and do a saliva cortisol test after stopping my adrenal support for two weeks.

Thanks for your advice, I will not increase T3 anymore right now and get those other tests to see what is happening. I'm a little worried about the ALT as that is my liver enzymes and they have increased from 15 at the end of April to 41 now at the end on July. So, something is going on there.

Thanks again, I really appreciate your advice!!

My liver enzymes went very high when I was hypo but havce returned ot

normal now that I am not. T3 helps rejuvenate the liver.
