Guest guest Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Started taking T3 only to try to clear rt3 on May 7th after getting these lab results: rt3 509 <90-350>,ft3 7.2 <2.0-4.4>,ft4 4.8 <1.2-4.9>,t3 36<24-39>, ferritin 350<10-291>, b12 931<211-911> Previously take 6 grains(390mgs)Naturethroid, so started with 50 mcgs cytomel, 25mcgs in morning, 25 around 1pm. In 15 days when started feeling hypo increased to 6.25 mcgs at around 4 pm became hyper immediately so in 2 days went back to just the two 25mcgs dosage each day. Took new labs two days after going back to 50mcg. Added crp test at my request. New labs: rt3 75<90-350>, ft3 7.5 <2.0-44>,ferritin 308<13-150>, c-reactive protein, cardiac 11.54<0.00-3.00> Very high crp, alarmingly high, but my pulse is fine, bp good, and temp within 0.2 variance, but am somewhat hypo. Three days after going back to 50mcgs, added in 1/8 of 25mcgs, about 3.12mcgs around 4 pm have tolerated this increase well so far. So my questions are: Could me being hyper 2 days before lab work account for high crp? Should I be alarmed that I have only been able to increase T3 by 3.12 a day after 5 weeks? Should I try to increase to 6.25 again or try to add in another 3.12 around say 11am. How will I know I have reached clearance? I'm scheduled to see Dr. in about a month so I need your imput. Dr. is internist who admits he doesn't know jack about rt3 or tissue resistance but he will listen to what I find out here.
