New Thyroid labs-does not look good

[1Draw]

So going by my thyroid labs is it even necessary for me to take cytomel you think? I don't have my consultation with my doctor at Defy until May 31st.

Yes according to Dr. Childs who has treated many patients with high RT3. While taking the T3 med cytomel, you can work on the underlying cause of it being high to begin with. Your RT3 and T3 will slowly be corrected. Read this carefully......I would start taking Cytomel as quickly as I could.

My numbers where similar to yours. My RT3 was 28. Been taking Cytomel for 3 weeks now and feel better. Sleep is better. I have some energy in the morning now. Weight hasn't changed much, but pants feel better. I eat good and workout 5x week. Just fyi, I'm 6'2" 210lbs. Pants were getting tighter over last 6mo - 1yr. Some don't fit anymore. Had to move a notch in the belt. Diet hasn't changed much. Drink less beer than use to, but belly been growing. Now I feel looseness in pants.

What is a good TPO antibody level? Mine is at 13 and range is 0-34. Is this level supposed to be zero ?

I think mid range TPO represents the beginning of hashimotos disease. You have some autoimmune issues. Taking iodine and selenium can get it pretty close to normal providing your not low on T3 and T4. I believe Dr. Crisler is doing that. Here's a good read on this.
