Your labs were hard to read on the end of the reposted mail as they

had fallen off lines.

It looks like FT4 was high in range as was FT3 and RT3 high.

Were you on any thyroid meds at that stage???

Yes, I want to know more before commenting but have some ideas, remind

me what you are on at the moment.

Have you had TSI antibodies tested??

The saliva labs look good, were you on adrenal support then??

They don't look very stable to me, we are looking for day to day

stability of 0.2F or 0.1C

BEfore you start T3 I want a better idea what's going on.

How do you feel at those temperatures??

Hi Nick

Thanks for wading through all that data and fixing the link.

I have never heard of TSI antibodies yet alone had them tested. I take it these

are not the Anti Thyroid Peroxidase ab and Anti Thyroid Globulin ab that are in

the files.

My Ft4 has gone higher since February and Ft3 has dropped a little. TSH hovers

between 0.7 to 1.1.

It is me who has been driving all the enquirial testing not the .....doctors and

I just had never heard it mentioned anywhere.

My ND saw the February results ie FT4 17 & FT3 5 & TSH 1 and I said to him that

I thought my problem was Thyroid and he said " You don't have a Thyroid problem "

HHHmmmmmm

I will see if my local doctor will organise the TSI Anti bodies test next week

and report back.

Thats what has been confusing me that I have some hypo symptoms yet I can't put

weight on which I believe is a Hyper symptom.

OK I won't start T3 until we look at this.

Thanks Nick

Kindest regards
