This is all so confusing. Last March, after posting my labs, which showed FT4 1.38 (0.82-1.77)/FT3 4.5 (2.3-4.2)to be at very good levels but with a RT3 of over 312, it was suggested that I start Cytomel in addition to maintaining my Naturethroid. I have done this for all these months and just recently repeated labs, which showed again FT4 1.11 (0.82-1.77)/FT3 4.3 (2.3-4.2)) levels to be at a great range, very little change from March, yet the RT3 is now showing 317 (90-351). Again, I am totally confused and not sure where to go from here. I am feeling pretty well, my temps are stable, yet below 98.6. I am losing weight and sleeping like a baby. My Ferritin is 201. Adrenals are looking good with one small dip around 2:00 PM but I am supplementing with Adrenal Complex. I have to say, for my age, which is very senior… things are doing ok. Should I be concerned about the RT3 numbers/ratios or just continue doing what I am doing? Thanks for your continued support and knowledge.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Inflammation can only riase ferritin if you have iron in your serum to be stored as ferritin. If your serum iron is low then there is nothign to put into storage so all levels of iron are lwo and anemia happens. Low thyrodi also causes anemia and iron loss as it affects red blood cell produciton. Withotu sufficient new red blood cells to carry iron we cannto hold onto it or absorb it so the levels fall over time. http://www.nthadrenalsweb.com http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://faqhelp.webs.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ http://artisticgrooming.net/ wrote: Hypo causes inflammation all by itself.
