Hello

I want to add a question concerning the health condition

Soon I'm going to do the RT3 test,

My Q is I want to do also saliva test

Which tests do you think I should do regard the health condition?

Hormones we test in saliva include:

• Estradiol (E2)

• Estrone (E1)

• Estriol (E3)

• Progesterone (pg)

• Testosterone (T)

• DHEA-S (Ds)

• Cortisol ©

Thank You

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. Here's the link:

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/

Hope this helps.
