[QUOTE="TRicker, post: 223638, member: 42831"] [USER=42608]@Anonymon[/USER] and [USER=17759]@BillyJ03z[/USER] I received my labs back... After trying 2-3 weeks of 25mcgs of T3, followed by 2 weeks of 50mcgs of T3, and labs drawn after waiting around 5 weeks after ceasing T3 supplementation, my thyroid labs were: TSH: 1.7 (.45 - 4.5) T4 Free: 1.36 (.82 - 1.77) T3 Free: 3.5 (2 - 4.4) Reverse T3: 25 (9.2 - 24.1) It's bizarre that my thyroid labs did not change much at all after T3 supplementation, including my ReverseT3. Maybe waiting a month after testing brought my levels back to baseline? I think my thyroid labs are good, except for the high RT3, which I'm suspecting is from high cortisol. Also, my SHBG was lower (14.8) compared to before (17), and my lipids were worse. However, that could've/probably was due to trying a small amount of NPP and a few stanzolol tablets, as I was desperately trying to fix ED, DE, and sensitivity. Neither of which helped. I'm guessing that the lack of sensitivity could be from elevated (out of range high) hemoglobin and hematocrit? I'm also guessing that my recent weight gain of 25lbs is due to elevated cortisol, which can also lead to ED? I've lifted and have eaten very healthy for 25 years, and have never had trouble losing fat until the last year, despite calorie restriction, intermittent fasting, and trying low carb. In my case, T3 only supplementation was probably not needed, nor did I gain any perceived benefit from it. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
