[QUOTE="Mikeyp6679, post: 152762, member: 15417"] OK. Got some additional labs back. Should have a full picture now. Free T3 - 1.3 pg/ml (ref 2.0 - 4.4) Free T4 - .82 ng/dl (ref .82 - 1.77) TSH - 1.180 uIU/mL (ref .45 - 4.5) Thyroglobulin Antibody - <1 IU/mL (ref 0.0 - 0.9) Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) Ab - 12 IU/mL (ref 0-34) Reverse T3 - 23.1 ng/dL (ref 9.2 - 24.1) From what I can tell, the rT3 seems to be the issue here. Question is why the heck is it elevated in the first place and whats the best approach for flushing rT3 out of the system quickly. For treatment, I'm guessing the options would be T3, NDT, or supplements (zinc, selenium, tyrosine, Iodine)...or a combo of the sorts. Anyone care to share any experience with treating their high rT3? As far as a cause goes, seems stress is a huge contributing factor...maybe the intensity of the workouts, lack of sleep and hectic life are not really doing me any favors. Vicious cycle. Also noteworthy, I have an autoimmune condition (Psoriasis) which in functional medicine can be tied to leaky gut. I have a consult with Dr. Saya later today. I hope he has some good insight here.
