T3 test

At a recent blood test my free T3 was 3.3. Is this normal or o[u]n[/u] the low side?

hi there Does anyone have any advice as to how many hours beforehand we should take T4 and T3 medication before a Reverse T3 test? Anything else to avoid beforehand or if I need to fast? Many thanks in advance 😃

Seen by a different GP today for pains in my shoulder (I believe from GERD) asked her about my thyroid testing and why they had never done a T3 and Reverse T3 test - she advised GP’s are not allowed to request this and could only be done through an endocrinologist.

my reverse T3 test has come back at 42 ng/dl range 10-24 Any help in understanding this would be appreciated. On thyroxine and T3 Thanks very much

So I ordered a T3 test. Dose this T3 look OK? Do you think it's worth asking for a refreal to an Endo? I'm mostly ok symptoms wise, i do still get terrible headaches every now and then, but might be hormonal.

I was livid because no T4/T3 test had been done so I don't know what they were but on past experience, I'd guess they were on the low side of 'in range'. I requested a T4/T3 test but was refused. GP said there is no need to test it. I tested privately a week later.

She wants to know where/who will do a Full T3 test. She realises that the NHS do not want to prescribe it because it can cost £200+ a month and so virtually wash their hands of the problem. Can anybody direct her to where she could have a test.

If I am taking T3 (Liothyronine) every day, would a Reverse T3 lab test give me any reliable information? Thank you in advance for your answers.

My sister accidentally took her t3 (5mcg) 24 before test. How much would her true ft3 be do you think? result 4.6 (3.5-6.5)

I reduced to 1.25 alternate days for 2 weeks but request Ed a T3 test also. This week 29 Oct I have the blood test. Tsh now 0.10 (0.35-4.5) T3 4.3 ( 3.9 - 6.8) T4 now 15.9 (11.00-24.00) and it as tastes 'borderline' against the results on line.

Hi - those of use lucky enough to be prescribed T3 on the NHS: Does your endocrinologist test T3 and T4 or just TSH? I know too many just rely on TSH but to the extent that they don’t even test T3 or T4 when you’re on Liothyronine? I had a monitoring test that seems to only have been TSH.

I was told by all endos and GPs they would never test for or prescribe T3. But seeing on here some people are getting this - is it post code related or are people seeing a private dr? Many thanks

Does my T3 look Ok? This is my first T3 test. I’m still feeling quite poorly, have been in bed for nearly 3 weeks now and was worried that I had adrenal issues making me feel so unwell. The cortisol result is marked as normal but I’m not sure how to interpret it fully.

I took my T3 in three doses the day prior to test (10, 10 and 5mcgs) with last 5mcgs, 12 hours prior to test. I normally take t3 in two doses daily. 10mcgs early morning and 15mcgs in the afternoon.

She refused to do the T3 test so I have included the last one I had which was before I started taking thyroxine. My vitamin B12 and iron levels are fine. Vit d is low for me 92 but I am on a very high dose - 45000IU per week.

Also - should she push for a T3 test to back this up? She actually has a face to face appointment on Monday - first in many years!

Hi all, I’ve managed to stay on T3 for a while now and I’m getting ready to do a thyroid test. I take two doses of T3, one around 6am with my Levothyroxine and the second T3 dose at 2pm. If I do my test 8am I’d imagine it’s fine as far as the Levo is concerned but is this gap OK for the T3?

I've requested for a free T3 test as I don't think my T4 is being converted well, but not sure if my doctor will agree. I may end up getting this test done elsewhere, is it very expensive? Also is it worth asking to get my adrenals checked, assuming I can ask for this test on the NHS?

I’m wondering if my adrenals have taken a hammering and if I should do a test. I’m still on 90mcg T3.

Then I'll have brachytherapy, and will stay on the ART for 1 or more years (perhaps dependent upon the outcome of Decipher test ). T3 0/0 Metastatic to the "pelvic sling," (by less than 10mm) PSMA-pet showed no hot spots on pelvic nodes or elsewhere. I found this ~August, w/ a 54PSA.
