Re: More questions before starting T3 therapy

[Guest guest]

This doctor's thyroid panel is so outdated it is not even used by

modern doctors any loinger. But anyway, why would you want to continue

to see a doctor that wil not help you? I htink your adnreal may be fine

wiht just the adaptogens oyu are taking but if oyu get anxiety when you

start T3 then you could always add in some Isocort then. You may need

it but it is close call where oyu are. The RT3 test is invalid once you

start on the T3 protocol as it reduces in the SERUM very fast btu it is

stil in the receptors for abotu 12 weeks. There is no way to test for

it in the receptors.

Hallo everyone

I had my doctors appointment today and he did not want to try T3 only.

He was very vague about why he was not willing to prescribe it and

wants me to try Naturethroid and DHEA first. He did a blood test for my

adrenals and reports that they are just fine. Funny, I don't think so!!

SO, I will probably go on my own for T3 only therapy to clear out my

RT3 issue and then see how to go from there.

Here are my lab results: ASI lab results

>

> 6-8 AM 13 (13-24)

> Noon 4 (5-10)

> 4-5 PM 4 (3-8)

> 10-midnight 3 (1-4)

>> My Thryroid test looks as follows:

>

> TSH 4.3 (0.3 - 3.0)

> Thyroxine (T4) 4.0 (4.5-12.0)

> Free thyroxine

> index 1.3 (1.2-4.9)

> Triiodothyronine (T3) 72 (71-180)

> Reverse T3

> 300 (90-350)

I have a couple more questions before I start:

1. Do I continue my adrenal supplements (adaptogen and adrenal complex)

or do I need to take something else to support my adrenals, ie. Isocort

2. I read on the posts here that after you cleared RT3 that some test

is not valid anymore...could you please explain which test is not valid

anymore and for how long that test remains invalid. I just wonder, when

I go back to the doctor, how will I convince him that I am doing much

better, so that he will be willing to continue working with me, if I

cannot prove that with a test. (He has the only one willing so far to

even consider alternatives to synthroid)

3. I probably will need a recommendation about where to obtain T3 from

(source list) and if I need something else for adrenals, that also.

I am a little nervous about going at it on my own, but I am so ready to

just feel better.

Thank you so much
