[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 16911, member: 696"] Score, ideally you would want both FT4 & FT3 fairly close together in the 50% to 80% area of the reference ranges. If your physician is aiming for 1.0 area for FT4, that's only in the 20% range, that's not the place to be. Regardless, Free T4 (for the most part) should be considered as the reserves, which converts to T3. Free T3 is significantly more active in the body, so it's essential that it is measured in conjunction with Free T4, and against Reverse T3, as a gauge to ensure conversion activity is adequate. In addition to your labs, look at Free T3, Reverse T3, and your antibodies (TPO & TgAb). With only 1 grain of NDT, I'm curious if there's a problem with converting to T3, or lack thereof (?). If so, we might need to talk about other variables like iodine, selenium & cortisol .. But, first thing first, see about getting the other labs. I'm trying to understand your physician's approach for treating this (?). If it was just based on T4 & TSH, then to me that's like driving in the night without headlights .. That's just my .02 on the matter. [/QUOTE]
