60. differences in thyroid T3, T4 etc

Edited on Fri Sep-07-07 09:50 AM by Locrian

Synthroid is T4, Armour is T4 AND T3. You could have reverse T3, high TSA, etc that prevents the T4 from being converted to T3 (which is what you actually need).

T4 is not what really is used by the cells, but it is part of what the HPA uses to sense amount of (the feedback). It is supposed to be converted to T3 - if it DOESNT then you have a problem. You can also get plain T3 compounded etc.

I agree to have the thyroid checked (by someone who knows what to look for and how to interpert the results). Also, I would recommend checking your hormones and especially cortisol.
