Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Ive read that when taking T3 only, that FT4 can lower. Is this true? And if so how much approx would it lower if i was on 25-50mcg of T3? TSH = 1.48 (Ref 0.35 - 5.00) Free T3 = 5.9 (Ref 3.5 - 6.5) Free T4 = 15 (Ref 9 - 23) Now i do have Adrenal fatigue, low DHEA-S, low morning Cortisol and high afternoon Cortisol, so i guess its possible that my low Cortisol may have caused some of my T4 and T3 to look higher in the blood than it actually would be and when i get Cortisol normal again the levels might lower some. But im taking Isocort in the morning, but want to get my T3 higher to 6.5 or a bit higher. So while on adrenal support i was planning on building up to 25- 50mcg of T3. I dont think Armour is suitable for me as it looks like i dont need any T4, just a bit of T3, but will i need some T4 when Taking T3? As this might lower my T4? Thanks!
