Not sure if no or some UK medics recognise this?

CC, I think a Southampton hospital is researching rT3 but it isn't tested on the NHS so I doubt NHS GPs and endos will understand it.

My GP tested my reverse T3 without me even asking.

According to Clutter, see above, this isn't tested on the NHS, so amazing that your GP tested reverse T3. Whereabouts are you?

Thank you, what was the reading of your reverse T3 test?

Sorry, I really can't remember, but it was within range.

Sorry to be patronising but are you sure it wasn't a FT3 test?

100% positive it was reverse T3 and it was about 3 or 4 years ago.

Thank you Muffy if you come across a copy of the reverse T3 blood test, would appreciate a copy of it?
