The antibody tests you listed below. I guess the fact that they're positive means you have Graves or Hashimoto's. Did you ever have saliva labs done? Were you ever on Synthroid? Some things that might help lower your RT3 are taking 200 mg selenium daily if you aren't already, and if you're a chronic, yo-yo dieter, that is actually a CAUSE of RT3, so eat regularly. Starvation type diets increase your RT3. Barb > I had a huge panel done. I have very low free T3 2.67 (range 3.5- 4.5) Free T4 1.31 (range 1.5). My reverse T3 was 367 (range 90-350). My Cortisol free serum was .30 (range .20-1.80). So, I was diagnosed with first hypothyroidism and then after I could raise my thyroid adrenal insufficiency. My antibodies; Anti-microsome (TPO) was 15 (range 0-34) and my anti-thyroglobin was 21 (range 0-40). The deer in the headlights or stare doesn't happen all the time. I don't have protruding eyes.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 The part about being postive for Graves or Hashi's was from someone else's post. Your results would be considered negative. Linn > > Linn~ > > You mentioned my results on my antibodies results would be considered negative. Then you said the fact that they're positive means I have Graves or Hashimotos??? Do you mean I do not have Graves or Hashimotos? Would antibodies be positive to have Graves. I know if the antibodies is positive it could mean Hashimotos. > Re: Graves > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Barb, Thanks for the post. I don't know if I have been tested for Graves. What tests do they do? I had a huge panel done. I have very low free T3 2.67 (range 3.5-4.5) Free T4 1.31 (range 1.5). My reverse T3 was 367 (range 90-350). My Cortisol free serum was .30 (range .20-1.80). So, I was diagnosed with first hypothyroidism and then after I could raise my thyroid adrenal insufficiency. My antibodies; Anti-microsome (TPO) was 15 (range 0-34) and my anti-thyroglobin was 21 (range 0-40). The deer in the headlights or stare doesn't happen all the time. I don't have protruding eyes.
