[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 23756, member: 696"] I don't have too much time, so I'll make it quick ... You appear to have some pooling problems with T3. Your FT3/RT3 ratio is at 14 ... Needs to be above 20, or IMO better yet at 25 or better. Besides the RT3 marker, as Gene observed, your FT4 is at the low end of the ref range. Why? More than likely due to a higher conversion rate going to RT3. Reasons? First main one that sticks out is your Iron. For my .02 of it, iron serum under 100 is asking for problems with the thyroid, especially on thyroid medication. I strongly feel aiming for the 120 - 135 mark is ideal, not only for optimal T4 to T3 conversion, but for ensuring FT3 is circulated in the body, in conjunction with cortisol and the adrenals. Banking your B12 also may need addressed, and/or D3 & Magnesium. You stated the stress subject and so forth, and to make any real determination you NEED to acquire a 4x Saliva panel - Cortisol w/DHEA correlation. The 1x blood serum lab gives little information about the state of your adrenals. See what you can find, and do some research on what I have mentioned, you will find a lot out there on this stuff. Dr. Bruce Rind has some good info., as does the books from Dr. James Wilson (not the same guy from House BTW). [/QUOTE]
