Re: Anyone on just T3 for a long time

[Guest guest]

Hi Louise,

Do you mind if I ask if your labs show that you have good ft3 on that dose? I

only ask because I don't " think* I need as much t3, either, and my temps bear

that out, but my ft3 is definitely not at the top of the range, although my rt3

ratio is very good -- over 30. (I think that is good anyway!)

I am not sure if I should just worry about how I FEEL and what my temps are and

not worry about the lab ranges so much.

thank you!

Kathleen

> I am on 45mcg of T3 only and I have no thyroid. Ive been doing this for over

6 months now. Everyone is different and everyone's bodies work differently. It

may take you some time to get other things right like your adrenals, ferritin or

B12 until your body can tolerate high doses of any thyroid medication. But it

may also be the case that your body doesn't need more.

are on high doses but there are some of us who are also on what are classed as

relatively smaller doses and clearly don't have the same stages of resistance as

others.

important to keep a good eye on your symptoms and medicate appropriately.

eliminated symptoms. Certainly my adrenals needed support and now that I have

that, the T3 is getting into the cells and I feel much, much better. There

still isn't definitive proof or studies to show what doses should be and

everyone has different problems i.e hashis, graves, thyca, full thyroidectomies,

hemi thyroidectomies, cancer etc etc etc.

> Like Val,Nick and others on this forum, I plan on staying on T3 only. Its the

only thing that works effectively for me.
