[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 149649, member: 15043"] 13.3 is borderline. You don’t want it higher than 15. Ideally, you want it in the single digits, and as low as possible. It’s literally impossible to know what your RT3 is now that you’ve added in T3 and upped your T4 dose. But just try to get it done when you can. It’s extremely important to know whether all that T4 is converting into RT3 or not. My RT3 was 11 before starting thyroid treatment. I was using 2.5 grains of NDT, and my RT3 came back at 22. You just don’t know how much of the T4 is going to convert to RT3 until you get labs done. It’s the only way. And not knowing isn’t an option. I get plenty of selenium too btw. I eat 2-3 Brazil nuts per day. 3 egg yolks per day. 1 Oz of beef liver per day, plenty of chicken and beef, 1 Oz of grassfed cheese per day, and eat sardines 2-4 times per week. Free T3 was through the roof at 7.3, so was converting plenty to free T3. But was not happy about all the T4 that was converting into RT3. Have since dropped down to 1 grain of NDT, and added in 20mcg of T3. [/QUOTE]
