Guest guest Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Great Stuff Val. Was your last Free T3 in the high end of the range. The biggest people mistake regarding the lab tests, is saying the free t3 or t4 is 'in the range'. They both have to be at the high end of the range to indicate your thyroid is working normally.

I just want to feel better, be my normal weight again, not be freezing, have healthy hair, etc etc. When that happens, my Free T3 will probably be in the " normal " range - wherever that may be.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hi Val Dont get me wrong, the most important way to treat thyroid and adrenal issues are symptoms. Its just the ONE lab test you can check is your Free T3, the rest of it isnt that important. http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/thyroid-depression-mental-health/ Russ > > > Hey all, > > I've been on Armour for 2 1/2 months now and my hair is now much > healthier instead of the straw it was before.
