Re: rT3 testing? / if you have to buy your own

[Guest guest]

With today's prices:

prepaidlab.com, “Reverse T3 " , $57.65

econolabs.com, “T3, Reverseâ€, $59

directlabs.com, “Reverse T3â€, $89

Prices change often.

Last time I checked, these tests were available without a doctor's order in all

states except NY, NJ & RI.

In the UK:

not done at my large medical clinic in MN is sent to Mayo. I just found out Mayo

no longer does the rT3 as they consider it obsolete. Interesting??? Where can I

get this test done? Can I use the current thyroid panel in conjunction with a

new rT3. Economics are an issue for me.

> My random temps are low and all over the place. Lowest was yesterday after

doing heavy yard work for 2 hours, came in exhausted, took a 1.5 hour nap, woke

up cold, took my temp, 96.8. Yikes!! Saliva tests from 2 years ago showed stage

Maladapted Phase II. 6 months after being on vits and supps retest showed

Non-adapted, Low Reserves. Since then went on protocol of

glandular extracts and supps, back to Mal-Phase II and not feeling strong or

well. Stopped that and am now on 20 mg HC, dosed 7.5, 7.5, 5, and 3 mg LDN,

plus a mercury detox, candida kill, and other things, so a saliva test today

will be no of value. I do not feel like I can go off HC at this time, it is

helping. I have been taking Armour thyroid (now compounded) for over 10 years.

Has been monitored according to lab numbers. So, right now I would like to test

for rT3, but where to get it? I can get a ferritin and iron panel with another

draw. I should be able to do the temp charting next week. Any other

suggestions?
