[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 147686, member: 15043"] I've had thyroid labs drawn about 10 times over the years, and they basically all look identical to the labs on 2-20-19. I put those labs as a reference of what my thyroid labs usually look like, while taking no thyroid medication, and my thyroid labs on 4-30-19 while being on NDT for a month. 2-20-19 T3 total - 83 (76-181) T4 total - 5.6 (4.5-10.5) Free T3 - 3.7 (2.3-4.2) Free t4 - 0.9 (0.8-1.8) Rt3 - 11 (8-25) TSH - 0.73 (0.4-4.5) Thyroglobulin antibodies - (<1) Thyroid peroxidase antibodies -(1) Range - (<9) 4-30-19 Thyroid Protocol: WP Thyroid (NDT) 1.5 grains in AM, 1 grain mid day for about a month prior to these labs. Rule of thumb when checking thyroid is to not take a dose 12-17 hours prior to lab draw. So morning of lab day, I took all 2.5 grains at 5am, and had labs done 12 hours later at 5pm. T3 total - 230 (76-181) T4 total - 9.4 (4.5-10.5) Free T3 - 7.3 (2.3-4.2) Free t4 - 1.6 (0.8-1.8) Rt3 - 22 (8-25) TSH - 0.01 (0.4-4.5) Thyroglobulin antibodies - (<1) Thyroid peroxidase antibodies - (1) Range - (<9) So moral of the story, WP thyroid is clearly a lot stronger than I thought! I don't really feel good with these levels. Feel a little more foggy than usual, and a little more tired I think. Other than that, don't notice much difference compared to before starting thyroid medication. My plan is to drop my NDT dose down to around 1 grain, and add in T3, to get my RT3 down. Most likely just going to get quick release T3 from Empower. Going to start low with the T3, probably 5mcg, and raise 5mcg per week. Then going to get labs done in probably a month. [/QUOTE]
