Guest guest Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Your Free T's are mid range. They could be a bit higher but it looks like your RT3 (reverse T3) is too high. This is a conversion issue and can be corrected with cleaning up your liver. Your Free's may come up when this is corrected. My Dr uses the Liver Doctor's protocol www.liverdoctor.com for his patients with high RT3 readings. Your antibodies are low so that pretty much rules out an autoimmune issue. Urinary iodine is only a measurement of what you have consumed recently and not full body sufficiency.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Thanks , what do you suggest I say to the doctor, as she has had hypothyroid symptoms for years. She has Sjogrens syndrome, PND after the birth of her child, depression, can't stop shaking, she fans herself continually to stop the dizzyness, nausea, headaches, dry skin, cold,.. the list goes on. Are there indicators in her test results that indicate hypothyroidism which the doc will accept?

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Many doctors feel if your frees are in the range then you are not hypo. Others say if you are at the bottom of the range (which my children were) and showing clinical signs of hypo T then they will treat you. Some will treat you based on symptoms no matter what labs say. Get your list of symptoms related to hypothyroidism and ask to be treated on a trial. Dr. Broda would do this. Also have you taken your basal temps and your day time temps?

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I just got my test results back and I am wondering if anyone has any insight.

I have had a difficult time keeping weight on and feel jittery sometimes after taking my thyroid. The doctor is not increasing my dose, but wants to retest in 6 weeks. I switched to natural thyroid about 2 months ago and have been on iodoral for about 3.5 months. Any help in understanding my results would be appreciated. My ferritin levels have risen from 6 since the last time. I am supplementing with Floridix and iron rich foods. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
