I feel this is a dam good thread I am Hypopituity and feel my Thyroid levels are good at least I feel good. My RT3 is high but this might be from having Heart Bypass sugary. It is said that Armour has changed and now my Caremark drug plain tells me they can’t get Armour any more most people on the web are having the same problems. I am on 4.5 grains of armour and don’t know what to take when I run out. I have about 90 days left of the old form of Armour after this I am out.

Here are my labs from last week.
RT3 38 range 11 to 32 ng/dL.
Aldosterone 6 range upright morning < or = 28 ng/dL.
DHEA-S 130 range 25 to 95 mcg/dL not on supplements.
T3, Total 161 range 97 to 219 ng/dL.
T4, Free 1.0 range .8 to 1.8 ng/dL.
T4 (Thyroxine) Total 8.3 range 4.5 to 12.5 mcg/dL
T3, Free 361 range 230 to 420 pg/dL.
Ferritin 88 range 20 to 380 ng/ml.
Folate Serm. >24 normal > 5.4 ng/mL
Estradiol 21 range 13 to 54 pg/ml
IGF-1 146 range 75 to 228 mg/ml.
None of my Testosterone labs came back was still in process.
Hear are the numbers from 8 weeks ago.
Total T 831 range 250 to 1100 ng/dL.
Free T 173.1 range 46 to 224 pg/mL.
Bio. T 333.4 range 110 to 575 ng/dL.
SHBG 23 range 17 to 54 nmol/L.

It does look like your FT3 is a little low for the level of RT3 you are carrying. When I figure your FT3/RT3
ratio by the method Dr. Holtorf uses, I get 100*3.61/380 = 0.95. Holtorf says you need to be over 2.0 to be well by his definition. Your ferritin level looks good. How are your cortisol levels? It’s possible you might feel even better if that RT3 came down some.
