24-hour Urine Thyroid Results

[Guest guest]

My T3 registered 418 on a scale where 'normal' starts at 592.

My understanding is that,in normal functioning, T4 converts to T3 via liver and

kidneys. Most (80%)T3 comes from the conversion of T4, so this low figure

suggests my system is trying to conserve energy by producing 'reverse T3'. This

need to conserve energy probably stems from my rather stressful life, but may

have an element of heredity.

It comes in combination with a very low score - 5.9 - on the Adrenal Stress Test

so now I can see why I've been SO tired, forgetful and otherwise

dysfunctional:-) In fact, I'm amazed I'm functioning at all. I'm very much

looking forward to being WELL - no matter how long it takes.
