[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 16680, member: 696"] Nyd, OK, it would also be better to comment on free serum results (presume these are Total Serum?), as it will give us a truer picture of what's actually bio-available, but let's look at what you have in the meantime ... Both T4 & T3 are hovering in the 40% area of the reference range, T4 at 42% & T3 at 40%. That's a bit sluggish, not terrible, but would be optimal in the 50% to 80% of reference range. Again, would like to look at Free Serum, plus Reverse T3, which I sense might a little excessive in the ratio comparison with T3. Antibodies are fine from this viewpoint, I don't think autoimmune is an issue. Me think you need to dive a bit deeper into the cortisol picture. Unfortunately, that 1x serum lab won't quite cut it, you will need to look at a 4x saliva panel w/ DHEA correlation analysis. I can help you put together a circadian profile "if" for some reason it doesn't get sent to you with the results. If you AM with a saliva kit is any reflection to the current serum result, then it's going to need some help. The AM should be right at the very top 15% of the reference range, then gradually towards the middle and lower half of the reference range as the day concludes. What you are describing IMO definitely sounds adrenal related, especially noting that mornings are bad, but you tend to feel better later in the day. This would also have a say in the activity of your thyroid, which again would tend to convert at higher rates of Reverse T3 when cortisol is problematic. I think you know the labs that are needed?!?! .. If not then let me know. Also, on your temp .. If you have the time and patience, take your temp 3x per day for 5 days. Take it approx. 3 hours of waking, 3 hours later, and 3 hours after that. SUM / 3 .. Do this for 4 more days, then let's see the trend ... [/QUOTE]
