Re: HELP! New Lab Results, Still Very Fatigued

>First, My temps are somewhat stable but LOW. 3x/day avg. is between 96.8 and

That's not stable at all, we are looking for 0.2F for day to day

average stability. There will be a jump twice a month with

menstruation/ovulation but apart from that they should be within 0.2F

Ft3/RT3 = 407/28 = 14.5, this should be 20 or greater

The FT4 and FT3 look good at first glance but when you factor in the

high RT3 it's not good.

This is a major problem, the ranges are too wide.

Dig back to the original results and post them in the adrenal group

(details at the end) and they will tell you what you need to do.

Once you have enough adrenal support to be able to stabilize

temperature then you will need to go onto T3 only for a few months to

clear the RT3 and the resistance that will have built up.
