Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 I've seen this referrenced many times but can't seem to find a definition. Can someone just give me a brief explanation? Thanks! Quote
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 It's where all the thyroid hormone sitting in your bloodstream gets dumped into your cells at one time usually due to increasing your cortisol dose too quickly. Rie A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 Thank ya, Rie. That's sort of what I figured. So...is this a threat when starting cortisol? Is there a way to prevent it? Quote

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 Yes it can happen especially if your blood levels of T3 are too high. The way to prevent it is to build the cortisol up slowly and why the ramo up schedule was started. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 Val, I'm getting blood test tomorrow. Doc put T3 Uptake, T3 free, T4 total, T$ free and TSH on the form. I just checked off ferritin. Think it's okay for me to do that?? Also, I want to add RT3. There is spot for Additional Tests at the bottom but it asks for ICD-9 code. Can I just use the code she put at the top and write in RT3? Quote
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 I have never added an RT3 to testing so I do nto know if it has it's own code or not. The ferritin I would think would be fine. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote
