[QUOTE="aspencad, post: 179795, member: 16103"] It takes two things to convert T4 to T3. Good cortisol levels and good iron levels. You need to get a 24 hour saliva cortisol test and have all 4 iron labs (TIBS/%saturation/ferritin/serum). You need to have "optimal" levels not just "average" and/or "in-range". I would also get on a NDT instead of the synthetic T4. With that being said once you get your cortisol/iron levels up and you start converting to T3 you "may" do OK. Some do some don't. If your doc is only going by TSH levels you need to find another one or start doing some research on your own. Watch your RT3 levels as if you don't convert they will climb. A very good research is STTM (Stop the Thyroid Madness). They even have a Yahoo discussion board. Very knowledgeable people. Jamie Bawthorpe has also written two books. [/QUOTE]
