[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 76737, member: 696"] As you've gathered, RT3 can be problematic when FT3 doesn't/can't reach the cells. However, it can also happen when other issues are present, being illness, stress, injury, etc., most things where the body is signalling it needs to conserve energy. With that said, YES, cortisol and iron/ferritin are probably the first two (2) key areas to look at first. YES, a more comprehensive adrenal panel would be desired for this. Go with the 4x Saliva kit, and try to see if you can get it with a DHEA test so that we can do a correlation analysis. I don't see iron serum or ferritin? Please, when you get these, just type out the total summary of the labs, plus try to list an updated thyroid panel with RT3, FT3, FT4 and TSH. I only saw a TgAb antibody result on the first link, we also need TPO antibody. Again, just list them all once complete, with reference ranges, it will make commenting much, much easier. Thanks [/QUOTE]
