[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 21007, member: 696"] Re-ride, don't feel alone, the majority of GP's and endos fall flat on this subject, day-in and day-out! OK, we can use the two (2) labs you provided as an argument to what your physicians are stating ... So, if TSH is the "be-all, end-all" for thyroid, then your 1.57uIU result is about spot-on optimal. Being that number is in the lower end, it should reflect that your actual thyroid hormone level is very good(?). Oh wait, your Free T4 result reflects that you are at 21.5% of your reference range value, when many of the best minds on this subject would say that your free serum (T4 & T3) should be in the 50% to 80% area of the reference range. Your results alone prove that TSH only is unreliable at best!! Working on a negative feedback loop, wouldn't it be "High" if your thyroid hormone levels were low? Now, the other variables are Free T3, which if elevated could indicate pooling "if" you find the Reverse T3 ratio is not sufficient. There's a variety of factors that can play into this, but the first step is getting the correct thyroid labs. The best starting place for you on this subject IMO is [url]www.stopthethyroidmadness.com[/url] ... I can point you to other experts like Dr. Bruce Rind, and some other thyroid communities if needed, but start with STTM.com to get a real feel with all of these talking points. [/QUOTE]
