That might be the Niacin men with high suger do better on TRT.

I just posted a new post " If you suffer from sore joints and muscles read this "

in this are supplements the good Dr. at spacedoc.com says you need to be on.

Clint why are you trying to get RT3 down do you have low Free T3 and low

Cortisol levels. I am on Synthroid 150 mcgs/day with 5 mcgs of cytomel the

generic 3x's a day. I have high levels of RT3 but I am not on the T3 Cytomel to

lower my RT3.

I feel men need to fix the problems that are causing the high RT3 talking high

doses of T3 can mess up your Free Testosterone levels making your SHBG go to

high and this binds up your testosterone meds.

I am to get RT3 down because it is extremely high...highest level ever seen by

Dr. J.......the preferred treatment is very low dose t3 per Dr. . Its very

low dose. I mentioned and we talked about this before on this forum....

Anyway, was wondering if anyone else battled GOUT from niacin (and or hcg,

although I think it's really from the niacin).

When it comes to Thyroid Problems Dr. is great at it. What he is doing to

get your RT3 down I am betting he is also working on why your levels are so high

and the way he is lowering your RT3 is safe should not drive up your SHBG

levels. As for gout I can't say I has it once and know one knows how bad this

is until they go through it. My toes hurt so back sheets would need to kept off

them with pillows the sheets hurt them.

I feel if one needs to get there RT3 in check this is about the best and safest

way to do this. One of the men posted this at Dr. 's forum and he agrees

with this link.
