Following is labs on 1/21/08

> TSH..1.23....0.40-580

> FT4..1.0....0.6-1.2

> FT3..2.8....2.4-3.9 pg/mL

> rT3..256...90-350 pg/mL

He went to his regular VA doc March 24, told him about the above labs

and that he is on T3 to get rid of the RT3 and explained to him why

we thought caused it. Well he ordered another Thyroid test with the

following numbers, however these labs do not have FT3 or RT3 on their

charts so they could not be ordered. I ordered them thru his outside

provider, have not got those yet, hopefully tomorrow. Anyway here

is what I got for the moment:

TSH_____0.17_____.27-4.2

T4______0.8______.71-1.85

TOTAL T3____1.77_____0.60-1.81

What do you think Val from what little I gave you. He is not on

anything but the T3 for thyroid, taking 37.5 mcg at the moment,

started on it about Valentines Day

> Well Free t3 tells alot more, btu from this he needs a bit more T3,

as it should proabbly be slightly over range when he only has T3. It

is also not supressing his T4 enough.

Got his T3 and rT3 results:

T3____3.8______2.4-3.9pg/mL

rT3____84______90-350pg/mL

That is really bringing rT3 down on only 37.5mcg T3, what is the

ratio about 45% now. I got the doc to order him 30mg Armour Thyroid

to start with is that about right Val?

How do you want me to get him to taper from T3 to Armour???

He is on 17.5 HC right now, hoping he will up to 20mg again, but he

dropped it cause his BP went up some, any suggestions on this also

okay, but do I just trade each 12.5 T3 for 30mg Armour all at once or

do I just do one each week??? I am open for suggestions. He is so

pleased about all of this. He takes 12.5 three times a day....

How do you want him to exchange T3 for the Armour? 30mg of Armour for

12.5 of T3 every week or what? He is so happy about this, he has

wanted on Armour cause he knows it will help his cholesterol. The VA

doc had him on too much for too long and caused him major problems with

muscle weakness, his CPK is still too high.

Sorry my brain isn't working well, when you say hold the last 12.5 for

an extra week with the 1.5 grains Armour, do you mean start the 30mg

Armour and still use 12.5 also? Sorry I am so dense, but I have to

make sure to do this correctly. Thanks Val
