[QUOTE="shltn, post: 96812, member: 17383"] So today I went to yet another doctor who tells me that RT3 means nothing and me levels are "within range". So guess I am going to have to try to do this myself so I would appreciate any guidance on how to titrate up the dosage and what my ultimate goal would be (it seems like most are able to clear their RT3 on 50-75mcg) and then I'm assuming I would need to taper off as well?
