Guest guest Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 Hi Jill, I'm not a pro with labs yet but I do know that T3 can be falsely elevated due to estrogen and many other factors, making it far less accurate than FT3 (now, would you please explain this to my endo?). That suggests that you are hypo despite a mid-range reading on your T3. (Even for T3 a higher reading might be more comfortable). I had to present a strong case to my endo that my mid-range numbers were hypo (I did have a TSH over 2). Luckily I had a previous test result plus changes to my menstrual cycle to back me up..It sounds like you could use a dose reduction or addition of some T4. I hope your doctor will work with you!
