Re: BUMP Lab results - impressions, please

[Guest guest]

peaches, i'm sure margery val or nick will help you out here, but in my humble

opinion, these labs do not look right?

i seem to remember val saying that if your t4 is over half of the range that you

have a definitive rt3 problem, and your rt3 at 237 in that range pretty much

confirms...

i realize you already know you have an rt3 issue, but that seems to be a high

amount of t4/t3 thyroid you are taking. looks like your own thyroid is being

sufficiently suppressed, so it is not making any more t4 (which is the

objective, so it cannot then be made into more rt3)... but that means that all

that t4 is coming from the nth you are taking,,, seems that this will not allow

the receptors to clear from the rt3 if more is still being made to that degree

and then going right back into the receptors....

or maybe your ratio is actually 30 based on these labs, if the t3 isnt falsely

high due to pooling... so maybe thats good?

idk, just my humble opinion, could be interpreting it completely wrong, but it

looks like no one else is chiming in yet so i thought id share:/...

on the other hand, if you are feeling well, you really cant argue with

that!!!!!!

RT3 clears I will go very hyper. Is this correct? (I want to be armed when I

hear from my Wellness Dr. that manages my thyroid meds).

I'd suggest T3 only or at least drop the natural way down, you are

getting far too much T4 still to reduce that RT3
