[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 37249, member: 696"] The FT3/RT3 ratio is a tad bit low at 18.6, but it's not alarming. Would be better though if it was > 20. As noted, there probably needs to be some attention directed towards the adrenals and your cortisol. Get that worked through and that will probably help the RT3 subject. However, the 1x morning cortisol serum lab isn't sufficient. To see the full picture get a 4x saliva kit w/ DHEA correlation analysis. Want to see not only the AM, but the 2 mid-day and evening samples. Thyroid levels (FT3 and FT4) are low. Best is when they're both in the 50% to 80% of reference range, HOWEVER, that of course is WHEN FT3 is adequately getting into the cells. Cortisol and Iron can usually be the primary culprits preventing this from happening. Knowing you have an initial concern with your adrenals, this should be considered when you and your physician are, or might be considering thyroid treatment/medication. If FT3 can't get into the body, then it pools, and then you have other problems. Again, keep this in mind, and research it tooth and nail to understand how it all comes together. The thyroid can be a little bit complicated, because it is quite dependent on other variables like cortisol, iron/ferritin, D3, mag, etc., to get into the body. [/QUOTE]
