[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 83484, member: 696"] TSH is the most unreliable marker out there. T4 is essentially the reserves to support T3, and Free T3 is the measurement that's unbound, and able to work at the cells. However, Free T3 (FT3) can be elevated, but still not effective. This is usually due to iron or cortisol imbalances, so thus the Reverse T3 marker is used to analyze the FT3/RT3 Ratio. So, T4 converts downstream to T3/FT3 (iodine & selenium beneficial). T4 also converts to RT3. When there's a problem with FT3 getting to the cells, and/or other issues going on like sickness or injury, the body will shift for a higher demand of Reverse T3. I understand probably much of this sounds a little bit Greek, but do yourself a favor and research this thoroughly for your own awareness. stopthethyroidmadness.com has good stuff, tiredthyroid.com has good stuff, Google Dr. Bruce Rind, and Dr. Lam taps into variations of hypothyroidism with women, resulted from estrogen dominance, which will tank the T4, T3, & TSH!
