Labs for RT3 - What do I do?

[Guest guest]

Just got my labs back and need some advice (am on 3 grains of Armour):

TSH 0.01 (0.40-4.50)

Free T4 1.1 (0.8-1.8)

Free T3 392 (230-420)

Reverse TE 41 (11-32)

Ferritin 40 (10-232)

Vit B12 316 (200-1100)

Vit D 25 OH Total 31 (30-100)

I am currently taking iron, Vit B and Vit D supplements. Do I need to go on T3

only? Do I wait until I get my ferritin up? How long are people usually on T3

only?

I have been feeling light-headed, dizzy, fatigue but can't sleep, irritable,

anxiety. Could this all be from the RT3?

" Could this all be from the RT3? "

IMO, yes, partly (leave this to the mods to comment)

additionally your iron (ferritin iron store) is too low (optimal 70 to 100),

your B12 is too low (optimal over 500), your vitamin D is too low (optimal 50 to

100)

With RT3 over range you need T3 only, a minimum of 12 weeks but many

of us stay like it permanently as we feel better like that

Yep, the RT3 and the resulting adrenal stress
