[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 12390, member: 696"] Nelson, thanks for pointing that out. I opened it up earlier and it prompted me to some other PDF on Grave's. Must have a ghost in the machine LOL. Anyways, labs are there, and it answers some of the questions. OP, your Reverse T3 is excess when calculating the ratio with FT3. It's sitting at 13.5 .. Best to see that above 20 or even 25. It means T4 is converting more RT3 than you might desire. A variety of reasons can promote this scenario. It's the body's way of reserving energy when/if T3 isn't effectively reaching the cells, and/or other illnesses, stress, pathology, where the body needs to curb ATP. Your iron serum IMO should come up to approx. the 130 range. Binding capacity is good, so transferrin will be effective to transport iron effectively. Your ferritin is definitely low, and in conjunction with the iron, you will IMO have difficulty getting T3 adequately into the body. The RT3 lab is a marker to tell you when issues like this are present. Again, this is all my opinion, run this by a qualified physician, but introducing any type of thyroid medication will be counterproductive until you get these areas addressed. Ferritin would be good at 100 to 150 area, somewhere in that range. Talk with your doctor about some form of elemental iron treatment with adequate levels of Vitamin C. You don't have to overload this endeavor. Be patient and monitor it. The cortisol is obviously above range, but I honestly couldn't tell you much on that. The 4x 24 hour saliva test will be accurate, and it will give us a circadian profile with the pattern of your adrenals. These tests usually come with a saliva DHEA, which will also add to the talking points with your cortisol status. In any case, I feel strongly that you get the iron/ferritin side dealt with first, along with getting the comprehensive cortisol kit completed and addressed "IF" it is problematic, you will then have a much better chance to make this successful. The last thing you need is T3 pooling because one or two supporting transport areas is suboptimal. Again, the thyroid is complicated in that way, where active thyroid hormone is dependent on other areas like cortisol and iron to effectively reach the cells.
