confusing and incomplete labs , but perhaps someone can venture a guess?

July 6, 2010

I finally understand a sliver of the rt3 'saga " but

the 2 different lab results leave me still confused.

They did NOT give all of what I and doc asked for

.....BOTH times ...different docs....and at different

labs..it's like pulling teeth to get them to do what

they're supposed to.

I figure i'll just put them down here and maybe

someone is brave enough to try to tackle them and see

if maybe I need T3 only treaTMENTS FROM NOW ON.

There is no way to knwo from ANY labs whether or not oyu iwll need T3

only for life. There are too many factors involved in the production of

RT3 thand many that we do not evne knwo what they are. The best we cna

do for now is to clear the RT3 wiht the proper protocol and then if oyu

stil feel yiu want to try adding in T4 I feel natural thyri d si the way

to go and a slow return to it shoudl show fairly quickly if oyu have a

return of Rt3 and need ot go back ot T3 onyl. For me I tried going back

to natural three times and all three times my RT3 returned very quickly.

I wil nto be going back again.
