BUMP: Val - need your opinion on my latest labs

[Guest guest]

Hi Joan

Well, it is hard to say if the improvement I fell came from the t3 or the iron.

So, I don't know the answer to that. I am still hoping that the big improvment

will come from clearing rt3, I can tell you that...

- would love your opinion on my latest labs:

Do you think I should supplement salt? where do you think the high pulse comes

from? why do you think my t3 is pooling? because of rt3? shpild I lower my dose?

Thank you.
