[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 71377, member: 696"] Dr. Nichols, thank you for the response. When saying you "aim" for a FT3 serum level of 4 -to-5, is this based on the standardized serum assay with the reference range of 2.0pg/ml - 4.4pg/ml? I believe you said you said you personally administered 2 grains/day (correct me if I'm wrong?), are you able to achieve optimal levels at 2 grains? I have found 2 grains usually achieves 3.5 to 3.6 pg/ml, or around 70% of reference range, but I know everyone metabolizes differently, and optimal levels are different from 1 person to the next person. Out of curiousity, are you seeing good results with Armour, since the the Activas Pharma acquisition from Forest Labs, back in 2015? There's been a lot of mixed reviews with the [I]new[/I] Armour in the various thyroid discussion communities, and I was wondering if you have compared it with other NDT's, regardless if branded or compounded? I am with you 110% on the TSH subject, which too many physicians use as a primary marker for evaluating and diagnosing thyroid treatment. However, I strongly support monitoring other 'key' markers, such as Reverse T3, iron, ferritin, cortisol, electrolytes, D3. As mentioned in my first post, do you factor areas like Reverse T3 into the equation with thyroid treatment? Also, again, do you take different approach when patients have Hashis TPO or TgAb. Pooling tends to be a frequent obstacle with many here (and other communities), which usually seem attributed from adrenal imbalance, and/or iron & ferritin deficiencies. At some point (it doesn't have to be this thread), I'd also like your take on women needing thyroid treatment (as you noted the equal ratio of male to female patients), but more- so predicated on cases that are[I] estrogen dominance related[/I], stemming from peri/post menopausal stages. I have read a lot of related info. from Dr. Uzzi Reiss, and figured (like HRT) this subject is vastly misunderstood with the mainstream general physicians and endocrinoligists alike (?), thus the majority of female population with this condition don't get treated even close to adequately.
