[QUOTE="ratbag, post: 89374, member: 972"] I believe the capable Thyroid MD's are now concluding that any TSH of 2 or over has underlying issues somewhere. Did you calculate your RT3 and FT3 ratio? I know there are calculators for that but I've never fully understood that part. If your ferritin is 17 I do not understand how you would have a normal RT3. I was at 15 for a while and was in really bad shape with hypo symptoms.. it was a hot summer and I was freezing cold all the time. Once my ferritin got to 90 I was much improved but I still have some receptor problems for my T3 as Dr. Saya told me. I still have something that's preventing my T3 receptors from fully functioning. It may be that I've got too much Iron as in Hemachromatosis ( a percentage of hemchromatosis patients have that T3 receptor issue) But I'm trying to get this sorted with my MD's here in Canada but I'm really not going anywhere fast. I have an appoint with a genetics lab next week to see if I have the hemachromatosis gene (defect) or what ever it is. But they won't give me a full iron panel... so I went out and paid for one privately and it showed my Iron serum at the very top of range with Transferrin over range and my ALT was above range... all these are markers for hemachromatosis. I showed this to my MD but because my iron serum was not actually over range he said I was fine! The run around is unbelievable. I'm going to have to fly down to see Dr. Saya and get on with this or it'll never improve. [/QUOTE]
