Your Free T4 is at 24.6% of the reference range, FT3 is a little bit to the right, at 33% of reference range. If everything is optimal, you would want both of these in the 50% to 80% range, fairly close together in relation with the reference ranges.Obviously with enzyme autoimmune issues, and evident ferritin problems, things won't be optimal at the moment. One "key" missing lab is Reverse T3, which will probably confirm that T3 is in a pooling situation. As Nelson also eluded, you will need to run your iron serum, along with TIBC. I suspect your iron will also be in the same area. We need to know the actual lab results with their reference ranges on all of these. There are some good elemental iron options, plus food sources that can help get your iron where it needs to be.As for the thyroid, Hashis can actually be treated directly with NDT medications, but it will be important to titrate properly to combat the attacks on the thyroid enzymes. If you go limping in with just a mediocre protocol, it could cause the attacks to be more problematic. It will be instrumental that the physician you work with understands this. Also, until you get the iron/ferritin subject settled out, you will need to hold off on thyroid medication. T3 is dependent on iron & ferritin for reaching the cells. This is one main reason FT3 ends up pooling, which creates a higher conversion rate of Reverse T3 ...Let us know on the labs ...</blockquote>
