Val - RT3 results - weight gain, return of hypo symptoms

[Guest guest]

Val,

Last week, I posted about having a return of hypo symptoms despite

excercise and no change in diet. You recommended that I either raise

cortisol and/or test RT3. I just got the results back from my RT3

test.

RT3=322 (normal range 90-350)

These are my recent blood draw results from March 3 as you indicated I

needed a recent Free T3 test as well.

Free T3 = 5.2 (2.3-4.2)

Free T4 = 1.42 (0.61-1.76)

TH = 0.004 (0.35-5.5)

AM fasting Cortisol = 15 (4.3-22.4)

It looks like the RT3 is in the high range. Should I send a copy to my

doc and treat with Cytomel? Or is it within the range and just let it

go for now. I will be going back for testing again in June to the

Doc. I could request an RT3 test then to monitor how it is doing. Any

advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Marva
