[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 73452, member: 696"] Based on your reported symptoms, fatigue and such, it might be the route? Your Free T3 is at 37.5% (actually 25% on your 2nd lab post) of the reference range, usually in most cases things are optimal in the 50% to 80%tile of reference range. However, other areas like the adrenals could be part of the story line, so that should be reviewed before proceeding IMO? Also, treatment could be problematic and counterproductive if Reverse T3 demand is high, due to contributing factors like cortisol, iron, or serious electrolyte imbalances. So, again, maybe a few bases to cover just to be safe. It would also be good to see some body temp readings/log throughout the course of 5 days ... One method, just measure at waking in the morning ... If below 97.8F, especially notably in the low 97's or 96'sF, that's a good indicator of hypothyroidism if/when also experiencing other hypothyroid related symptoms ... Another more 'detailed' method geared a bit more towards the adrenals is tracking it 3 times per day if possible ... 3 hours after waking, 3 hours after that, and 3 hours thereafter. That would provide a good log, and obtaining the daily average for all 5 days, and comparing could help know a bit more on your current situation. Plus, variations of .3F or more from one day to the next could be a key indicator of adrenal deficiencies according to Dr. Bruce Rind (in his excerpts and credits on STTM). A 4x Saliva cortisol w/ DHEA correlation analysis is the gold standard if you look at getting labs taken to give you the circadian overview of your adrenals.til Again, 1 grain isn't a major dosage. It would take approx. a week before you would really start seeing some initial results, if any? Again, patients tend to titrate up 1/2 grain from there each week until desire results are achieved.
