Anyone wanna share their experience researching T3? How long for results, dose, ect....have a female lab rat with a lower end TSH score, has a hard time lowering body weight. Her endo refused to treat her, so....thanks.
from my experience....most endos dont have a clue
My experiences say the same.
Need actual lab values, not "endo said thyroid was ok"
Free and Total T4
TSH
Reverse T3
my wife has a t3/rt3 ratio of 9.6
talked the doc into t3 only...he gave her 50mcg daily split into 2 doses
you have any knowledge on the subject....i know t3 is the right treatment...just not sure about the doesage...
right now i got her taking 12.5 mcg 4 times daily....monday will b 2 weeks on
i know it should take 8-12 weeks for the rt3 to clear receptor sites...just dont know if the dose should b titrated up past the 50 mcg
You guys that are taking t3 multiple times a day, is it always on an empty stomach? Or is t3 not like t4 in that respect?
Should be taken on empty stomach especially if just swallowing whole. Best to let it sit under tongue then wash down remnants with glass of water. Then wait 30 mins to eat.
that the same for t4 and t3?

I thought that was t4, thought t3 okay to take with food.
T3 seems to make me tired,smaller amounts of T4 made me hyper thyroid and nervous.
I use T3 thou because it makes me calm and feels good. Sometimes kills my work out thou.
Thyroid hormone raises SHBG possibly, so that might not be a good thing.
