What is Dr Peatfield's view on RT3?

[Guest guest]

Anyone know what Dr Peatfield thinks about RT3 and treating it if it's high?

In his book he says something about 's syndrome and that he doesn't agree

with it. Is this the same thing?

Thanks

No, it isn't the same thing. Dr thinks that all you have to do is clear

the RT3 and that person will be completely well again and won't need any further

thyroid replacement therapy. His theory is that they have just got themselves

stuck in a position of creating too much RT3 and that large doses of T3 will

clear it up.

Personally, I wouldn't have coped with Dr 's treatment as I have to

increase my T3 very gradually. Anyway, you will soon have the opportunity to

ask Dr P about it yourself. Why not write a list of all your questions on a

piece of paper ready for your appointment? Dr P likes a patient to take an

active interest. :-)

As you are seeing him in a couple of weeks, you can ask him

yourself Jonny.

Hi Miriam,

That's what I did for my last appointment and I ended up handing the paper to Dr

P for him to look at and he made notes on it for me as he was talking! That is

the most helpful I have ever known a doctor to be.

It was so useful as I don't always remember the answers to questions and I'd

have needed to write them down myself.
