YES I htink she needs T3 at this point. But I would get a full iron

panel and saliva cortilsl first. Her T3/RT3 ratio is 14.23 so NOT good

now and indicat4es T3 onyl as the best treatment to start, but you need

to find out what is creating that RT3 issue as it is certainyl not high T4.

TSH...1.1 UIU/ML (0.3-5.1) UNDER .4

> FT4...1.02 NG/GL (0.73-1.95) 1.4

> FT3...4.0 PG/ML (2.3-4.2) 4.5

> Reverse T3...281 PG/ML (90-350) under 110

> Ferritin...101 NG/ML (7-150) OK but still need iron panel

> Vitamin D ...38 NG/ML (30-100) 80-100

since T4 is low does that mean thyroid function is not good?? and can elevated cortisol for whatever reason(say stress) cause lower thyroid production in the first place so that fixing cortisol levels can improve thyroid output...without need for medicines> TSH...1.1 UIU/ML (0.3-5.1)> > FT4...1.02 NG/GL (0.73-1.95)> > FT3...4.0 PG/ML (2.3-4.2)> > Reverse T3...281 PG/ML (90-350)> > Ferritin...101 NG/ML (7-150)> > Vitamin D ...38 NG/ML (30-100)

High cortilsl will cause high RT3 but not lower T4. That si a

thyroid problem, BUT low iron can cuase low thyroid funciotn.

since her FT4 is low shouldnt her TSH be higher?? i guess i am wondering about pituitary function..

also..what would be an ideal FT4 if we were not concerned with RT3 for a 12 year old

i have her appointment with doctor for next week so wanted to get these answers..thanks so much..dawn> TSH...1.1 UIU/ML (0.3-5.1)> > FT4...1.02 NG/GL (0.73-1.95)> > FT3...4.0 PG/ML (2.3-4.2)> > Reverse T3...281 PG/ML (90-350)> > Ferritin...101 NG/ML (7-150)> > Vitamin D ...38 NG/ML (30-100)

Sorry to jump in here, I hope you don't mind. It's been awhile since I've been

on here. I'm noticing that some of these labs look like mine. I've never really

gotten where the RT3 levels should be. My last one was 250 and before that it

was 280, before I dropped a majority of my T4. Where is an optimal level of

RT3? I'm assuming we all have some level of it. What's acceptable?

I understand that some of the good T3/RT3 knowledgeable docs in California say

people will feel much better if their reverse T3 is under 100 (looks like the

very bottom of most of the ranges I have seen).

Then I'm woefully too high with my RT3 as well. I'm guessing that

25mcg/T4 I'm taking is still causing problems. Interesting. In all the years

I've been through this never once have I ever heard what an acceptable RT3 level

was. Thanks.
