Guest guest Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Hi, all- I have been following this forum with great interest, and I finally have some lab results to share! TC 192 HDL 92 LDL 94 TG 29 TSH 1.67 D3 36 Leptin 15.4 (1.1-27.5) Free T4 1.25 (0.82-1.77) Free T3 3.0 (2.0-4.4) Reverse T3 271 (90-350) Ferritin 70 (10-291) Insulin 3.6 (0-24.9) Temperatures at 3, 6, 9 hours after waking: Day 1: 98.0, 97.8, 98.3 (avg: 98.0) Day 2: 98.3, 97.6, 98.0 (avg: 98.0) Day 3: 98.2, 97.4, 98.0 (avg: 97.9) I have already started supplementing with 4000 IU of D3 daily (though not before these tests). If I calculate my reverse T3 ration correctly, it's about 11.7. Does this mean I am a candidate for RT3 therapy with cynomel? Do these results suggest any other action I need to take? Thank you for your input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I would bump that D3 up to 5000iu daily as it si slow to come up for most people. Yes you are a good candidate for T3 treatment but befoe you do that I woudl suggest a full iron panel. It does nto look liek adrenals nor high T4 is the cause of your high RT3 so lwo iron is the most liekly other cause. It si not good to try T3 wiht out knowing for sure what smight interfere with it an many people with lwo T3 have low iron. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 - Thanks for the quick response. Would an iron panel with the following tests give me the information I need? Fe and TIBC ; Iron Indices ; Iron Profile ; TIBC ; TIBC and Iron ; Total Iron Binding Capacity ; Transferrin Saturation ; UIBC ; Unsaturated Iron Binding Capacity/Vitamins I know at 70 my ferritin is just in the range considered acceptable to start cynomel. What else should I be looking for in the iron panel? Could severe emotional stress start an RT3 problem? I've read that as a possibility, and it seems to fit in my case. I don't know how that does or doesn't fit in with the physical markers, but I've been curious about how that works.
