Re: Can RT3 really make me feel this horrid?

[Guest guest]

Yes ther eis lots of hope for you! The low iron is preventing you from

converting any T4 to T3 and what T3 you DO make is not gettign to the

cells due to that high RT3. I woudl take 200mg daily of elemental iron.

Most have good results wiht Blue Bonnet Iron Bisglycinate you also need

abotu 10,000IU vitamin D and 5000mcg B12 as your levels of ALL those are

way too low. I would work on the iron at least a month and get your

cortiosl labs done in the meantime BEFORE tryign to switch to T3 onyl.

Then oyu would start wiht 30mcg T3 and raise it per symptpm eveyr 3-5 days

> Question re: RT3. I have no thyroid due to thyca and have been feeling

horrible the last few years. I have been on Armour but switching to

Naturethyroid. My last labs: TSH 0.01 (0.4-4.5), Free T4 1.1 (0.8-1.8), Free T3

392 (230-420), Reverse T3 41 (11-32) Ferritin 40 (10-232), Vit B12 316

(200-1100), Vit D 31 (30-100). I have been feeling so tired, irritable, don't

feel any emotion about anything, want to sleep all the time, terrible memory&

concentration, feel like I am walking around in a dream, depersonalization,

anxiety. Can all this be from the RT3 issue? I am going to soon be starting on

cytomel. Without a thyroid, what dose do I start on? I am currently on 3 grains

of Armour. I am also taking iron and Vit B& D. Going to do adrenal saliva

testing, also. Will I ever feel back to myself?
