Understanding difference between high FreeT3 and pooling

[Guest guest]

Moderators,

I am trying to understand the difference. I just had my labs in and I had a

high FT3 over the range, and Val indicated I had too much T3 and it was

stressing my adrenals.

What I don't understand is how can I have high FT3 and have low temps?

I was slowling increasing my T3 and could never budge past my 98.0F avg. It was

like 6 months of slow increases.

Then when I got to 100mcg of T3 I was getting hypo. I thought I had reached

resistence, the T4 stopped but my receptors were still blocked. But as I slowly

increased I felt so much worse.

Why didn't I clear along the way and ended up with high FT3?

My beginning ratio was an 8 and my HC was 40mg.

Did my low potassium kept me from getting clearance? I know a low ferritin can

and my ferritin was very good.

Thanks,
