[QUOTE="Justin Chile Farrar, post: 9509, member: 543"] Thanks Chris, yeah, I haven't been feeling too great on the Synthroid/Cytomel combination, so I was thinking I'd go to 1-1/2 grains of naturethroid and keep 10mcg of Cytomel on board with it and see how that works out, since that means I'd be getting about 5mcg more of T3 and a little more T4, right? Because maybe I need a little more thyroid. The conversion part is what is confusing because one grain of Naturethroid only contains 38mcg of T4, like what HarryCat said, so I'm confused as to how that equates to 100mcg of synthroid. My doctor also has me on about 25mg of hydrocortisone per day and I'm concerned about T3 pooling... Does high cortisol or low cortisol cause that? And how can I tell if that's happening to me, being on Hydrocortisone? Here are my labs results as of late: TSH: 1.13 (0.40-4.50)mIU/L T4, FREE: 1.2 (0.8-1.8)ng/dl T3, FREE: 3.3 (2.3-4.2)pg/ml REVERSE T3: 9 (8-25)ng/dl [/QUOTE]
