Guest guest Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 I would have thought it is the latter Jonny. If you go to www.drrind.com you can see how to track yout temps so that you can find out exactly what you need to do. If your averaged temps (3 times per day three hours after rising,t hen another three and then yet again another three), if these daily temps when averaged fluctuate by more than .2 per day your adrenals are struggling, if the same thing happens and the temps are low and unstable then you need more adrenla support AND more thyroid hormone. If the temps are just stable and low then you need thyroid only. Do the temps for 5 days first. Reverse T3 can be tested for and I believe it is the ratio between the result and your FT3 that are indicative. RT3 can be caused by an accumulation of T4 in your bloodstream I think as well as high cortisol. I am not absolutely sure of these last two points but there is a good for RT3.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I have been looking for information as to what a high rT3 can indicate. I have a high rT3 but I am normal body weight - don't you need to be over weight to have hypothyroidism? Micahel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Oprah has hashis and her weight is certainly Not normal. -- Re: Reverse T3 Not necessarily. If a person is in early stages of Hashimotoes, then they would have hyper/hypo swings, which overall would have the effect of keeping their body weight relatively normal. > > I have been looking for information as to what a high rT3 can indicate.
