Re: High T4...what does it mean?

[Guest guest]

T4 - 7.1

T3 - 3.58

TSH - 1.547

You need lab ranhes as I think this is a TOTAL T3 not a free.

WOW are you taking a T4 med? I bet your RT3 is through the roof and blocking ANY

T3 from gettin g to the cells.

These are actually my friend's ranges. She is not on any thyroid

hormone at all but has been having wild hypo symptoms. Her mom and her

sis have Hashi's. She also has Lyme so the doc isn't pursuing thyroid

issues any further until getting the Lyme under control. But I took

one look at the T4 and figured a RT3 problem which could be really

causing some of her awful symptoms.

How does one work with RT3? This is something I haven't figured out

yet. Is a T3 only med the way to go?

yes T3 onyl would be the way to go BUT before starting that she should have

CORTIOSL testing done as T3 can really do a job on unsupported weak adrenals and

it could be weak adrenal scausing this weird lab. She can order this on her own

from www.canaryclub.org
