[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 9525, member: 696"] Paco, at a glance, your FT4 is at 39% of the reference range, your FT3 is at 46% of the reference range. The ratio of Reverse T3 indicates that your T3 might be pooling just a bit. This could be attributed to the adrenals and your recent cortisol circadian and cortisol burden value assessment. Actually, I might have expected RT3 to be a bit more elevated with the previous cortisol labs, so maybe a little work on getting your adrenals in order, then you can get work on getting both FT3 & FT4 up above 50%, and get more T3 activity in the cells and promotion of ATP. I'd personally refrain from getting too deep into any thyroid treatment (NDT or other form) until you get a plan of action established with you and your physician. Adding a thyroid treatment regiment could be adding fuel to the fire if the supporting components are not in order, and we don't want to see the FT3/RT3 ratio go any lower than what we currently see (I believe around 17'sh ... Looking for 20 or even 25 and higher), which could happen if the body starts pushing back, prompting T4 to convert a higher rate of RT3. I find Selenium and D3 to be good supplements to compliment this area when getting it all put together. Do a little research with your doctor to see what works best for you. If NDT treatment becomes a talking point, let us know, plenty of us here administer Armour and other variations of NDT medication. [/QUOTE]
