Experiences with

T3 test

Hi, When is best to take the Free T 3 to get a reliable result? Morning early? Later? fasting? Thanks

My doctor would only do a T3 test which was 31% but within the normal range. If I begin T3 treatment am I likely to feel worse. I believe I have been Hyper in the past ( undiagnosed) and really am afraid of going there again. I would be really grateful for any help or support.

Recent blood test results via GP. TSH. 0.10 (0.30-5.50) T3. 4.9 (3.10-7.00) T4. 23.2 (11.50-22.70) The lab obviously not happy with TSH so did T3 for the first time. Grateful for any comments.

Recommendations for where to buy a reverse t3 test in the U.K. that I can do myself. Already getting one for FT3, FT4 and tsh, so just need rt3.

Has anyone heard the excuse from a testing Lab that they wont test for T3 unless there is a referral from a rheumatologist ?

My GP has said I should have Statin's but they keep lowering my Levothyroxin should l ask for t3 test ? Someone said nhs recommends this is done?

In 41 years of testing I’ve only ever had 1 T3 test done and that was last year and now understand from posts here that it is the most important . It was 3.9. Nothing said by the GP and had to go through reception to even get that piece of info.

Latest results after 6 weeks on 81 of levo and 5mcg T3. Test completed 24 hours after last levo and 8 hrs after last T3.

Hi everyone I need to complete a reverse T3 blood test , I usually use medichecks but they do not do this particular test. I have been informed by them that no other online company does this test. Your suggestions on where I can go to get this test done would be really appreciated.

Follow on from my "Weak T3 post" Well test results are in and they are very similar like for like.... so why does Roma just not make you feel as good as Tiromel?

He said wasnt necessary so i had a medichecks home test. Unfortunately the t3 test failed. From the rest of the results does this confirm an autoimmune condition or do both have to be raised. Ive been hypothyroid for 30 years and never really felt any different on treatment.

Hi My gp says TSH too high but my hair is falling out and l am tired should I get private T3 test and ask for referral TSH 0.17 mlI/L (0.27 -4,2)

Some of you may remember that I wrote the the Minister of Health for Wales about the GPs now being banned from testing T3. Today I recieved a reply (they had 17 working days to reply, it took them 19 and me chasing) that it is the responsibility of the local Health Board and they could not answer individual

Results as follows Tsh0.01 T4 17 T3 didn’t test this time no idea why. Will ask when I see the oncologist. B12 272 Vit d 56 Iron 36 put on pills to try and bring numbers up. My question is , my b12 is still low told all in range. Can I take b12 vitamins to increase?

Only difference is, I started taking the t4 in the morning rather than at night a few days before test. T3 taken in 2 doses for all tests. Last t3 taken 12 hours before test and t4 taken 24 hours before. Endo wants to reduce t3 by 5mcg.

Overall they were helpful, but I had to chuckle when they said “you don’t need to test for T3… as it’s a Google myth!”. Glad they’re not my endocrinologist!

I had a recent blood test and had the below.. I did not stop T3 before test TSH - 0.01 FT4. - 4.0 Is this expected taking T3?

My recent T3 test was 16% into the normal range. Not nearly high enough. Not entirely sure if it's worse because I live in N Ireland.

My NHS end wants me to take my T3 two hours before my blood test and I feel that this would just be testing the T3 I would have just taken. It is a battle - I am trying to get T3 on NHS. Many thanks

I am quite ok with splitting the T3 to allow 10 - 12 hours prior to the test, just not tried the split T4 regime before. Thanks to anyone who can help. X
