[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 157727, member: 15043"] Did a one month experiment to see whether a very low dose of thyroid medication would suppress my natural production completely, and leave me with very low thyroid levels due to my replacement dose being extremely low, or if the low dose NDT would just add to my natural endogenous levels. Turns out the ladder is mostly true. The low dose suppressed my natural levels ever so slightly, as evidenced by my slightly lower TSH. But overall, the 1/4 grain of NDT was enough to overcome the very slight suppression, and leave me with a net increase in free T3. I was also pleasantly surprised to see that my RT3 had come down slightly. Wasn’t expecting that. Was expecting it to increase slightly. 7-23-19 ON NOTHING for thyroid T3 total - 106 (76-181) T4 total - 6.0 (4.5-10.5) Free T3 - 3.3 (2.3-4.2) Free t4 - 1.0 (0.8-1.8) Rt3 - 12 (8-25) TSH - 0.78 (0.4-4.5) Iron, Total - 173 (50-180) Iron % saturation - 55% (15-60) Iron Binding Capacity - 315 (250-425) Ferritin - 30 (20-345) 8-28-19 On 1/4 grain WP thyroid ED in am for 1 month (LABS WERE TAKEN IN AM PRIOR TO TAKING MORNING DOSE. BASICALLY 24 HOURS AFTER LAST 1/4 GRAIN DOSE) T3 total - 130 (76-181) T4 total - 6.3 (4.5-10.5) Free T3 - 3.9 (2.3-4.2) Free t4 - 0.9 (0.8-1.8) Rt3 - 9 (8-25) TSH - 0.60 (0.4-4.5) Iron, Total - 106 (50-180) Iron % saturation - 37% (15-60) Iron Binding Capacity - 285 (250-425) Ferritin - 45 (20-345) What would you guys recommend to do next? Just increase to 1/2 grain of WP thyroid? Just looking to increase free T3 a tiny bit more, and increase free T4 a little bit more, without increasing RT3 too much. [/QUOTE]
