Guest guest Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Your doctor is making the same erroneous assumption that MOST of them make. That high Free T3 in the blood equals unhypo and feelign better. I am willing to bet that high Free T3 in the blood is just due to it not being able to get to the cells from high RT3. How much money ya want to place on this bet? BWT i am not a gambler and people that know me well NEVER bet against me! LOL When you raise the T4 adn cortisol is high, it simply converts it into RT3 and that blocks ANY T3 form getting to the cells. Sooner or later you start feelign toxic from it and temps start to drop as the T3 is not able to work. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 I would ask for a Reverse T3 test. Thankfully there are labs for that and though the range means little, you need ot have a Free T3 drawn at the same time and compare the ratio. If the RT3 to T3 ratio is too high then it would be a good idea ot go on all T3 meds for a 8-12 week period to clear out the RT3. Here is a good link ot read abotu it http://www.hormoneandlongevitycenter.com/nss-folder/pictures/ReverseT3_BestMarke\ rforTissueThyroidLevels_7_7.pdf -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
