I took T3 only for about 5 months, then

tried to switch back to Armour. I did not get tested to check RT3 (I

highly recommend that you test first), but was feeling great! In the end,

it was NOT a good idea for me to switch back. My body still wanted to

make RT3, even though it had cleared (by symptoms). I’d stay on it

a while longer and definitely get tested. Just know, if there is some

underlying issue (infection, liver issue, whatever), when you go back to

Armour, your RT3 will just go up again. Not that you have those issues,

but just be aware. It took me 6 months to straighten myself back out

after trying to go back to Armour. I’m going to stay on T3

forever. I don’t know if I’ll ever switch back!

Just my experience!

I have a question. I have been on T3 only for about 9

weeks to clear RT3 (ratio was 10.7) and wondered if I can just go back to

Armour now or do I need to get blood checked? If so, where can I go? My doctor

would never request bloodwork until another year when I go back. He did NOTHING

for my RT3..said it was fine!

You are not on enough thyroid. To clear RT3 oyu need to stop the ERFA

adn raise T3 a bit at a time to about 75mcg daily.

So I'm looking at two months in this room. Has anyone else had to go through this. I was thinking about getting labs done Monday to see where I am. I can't get out of bed. So you're saying I won't get energy until my t4 clears, doesn't the t3 kind of kick in some time to give some energy. Is anyone else in bed while going through this. I don't read anyone else struggling like this.

Hi ,

Have you posted any labs or do you have any?

>doesn't the t3 kind of kick in some time to give some energy

If your adrenals can cope you should get to the stage of feeling a lot

better on the T3 before all RT3 clears as long as you can tolerate the

dose needed.

That depends on adrenals and electrolytes among other things.

9 weeks might be enough for it to clear in the blood but the chances

are it hasn't in the receptors.

the recommendation is to stay on T3 only for at least 12 weeks.

Blood tests tell you what's happening in the blood, not at cellular

level.

If you are taking a fair dose of T3, say 75 or over, then RT3 will

undoubtedly clear, there won't be any T4 and hence nothing to make RT3

from.

Hey Dorothy,

I posted labs before when Val told me my ratio (10.7) but I have not had any

more lab work done. My doctor would not order them even if I begged. I do have

more energy and sweat more when I'm on T3 though.

Just thinking you need to know what caused the RT3 in the first place before you

go back to Armour

Dorothy

[Guest guest]

How can I find out what caused my RT3? I will continue on T3 only for a while

longer. I did feel better on T3 only. The only thing is my resting heartrate is

normally around 100 or a little over so when I go walking for exercise my

heartrate goes up to 190! I've known about this for 15+ years but just thought

it was normal for me. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

For a heart rate that high RESTING (the other doesnt; count when trying

to adjust hormones) you need to look at electrolytes as well as thyrodi

and ferritin and cortisol. the frritin and cortils are the most common

causes of Rt3 that I have seen as well.

>Val, when I posted my cortisol levels you said they look almost exactly like

yours did 3 years ago, so I have been on 30mg. of HC since April. I have never

had my ferritin tested so maybe that's what I need to do now. I have also been

doing salt but not regularly so I'll keep that up.
