[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 167273, member: 18023"] The biggest reason it's nicer to actually post the labs (dark out your name/DoB) Vs typing in results, less errors and we can see the lab ranges. I have no idea what FTI is, maybe a typing error? TSH of 2.2 isn't really considered "low" though it's in range. IMO the most important thyroid tests are the FT3/FT4/TSH tests, I like to get a baseline on Thyroid peroxidase TPO / Thyrogloblin Antibody just to see that they are appropriately low. I did the RT3 test just for grins, but I dismiss it's relevance unless you are hospitalized. If RT3 was really high, like nearer the top of the range (9.2-24.1 ng/dl) I might be more curious why. fortunately my RT3 measured 14.6 which is OK even by alt medicine standards. I am agnostic on DHEA as I don't think for most people it either helps or hurts, sometimes I supplement and for some people DHEA increases estrogen too much. For me, my E2 is seldom high unless my total T is above 1400 ng/dl and even at 1492 ng/dl total T my E2 sensitive was 32.6, so not all that high. Without an idea of FT3/ft4, it's hard to say what your thyroid is doing, though with a TSH of 2.2 most doctors wouldn't be concerned. [/QUOTE]
