[QUOTE="munch520, post: 66874, member: 14384"] After thinking more about this, I'm wondering if I have a T4 conversion issue and should be looking into a T3 only regimen? It seems no matter what amount of T4 I'm on, I get sent into a tailspin, resulting in only TSH suppression. T4 never really moves, and in fact FT3 decreases. Shouldn't a successful T4 protocol lower TSH AND increase T3 (through conversion)? The small amount of T3 in the WP Thyroid may have been (trying) to work for me, but was being blocked by the excess T4/rt3 perhaps? All numbers for conversion look OK, as of last year: Iron: 111 ug/dL (38-169) Ferritin maybe was a bit low, 161 ng/mL (30-400). AST (SGOT): 18 IU/L (0-40) ALT (SGPT): 19 IU/L (0-44) GGT: 14 IU/L (0-65) Insulin: 6.7 uIU/mL (2.6-24.9) I have not had any of the DIO2 gene testing. Have asked endo about conversion stuff, and have a conf with a friend's dad (Dr. Paul Tai [URL]http://www.fcachiro.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=6619&Itemid=62[/URL]) to get his input.
