Test results back, now what to do? - rT3 dominance.

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I have just received back my test results and now I am a bit unsure what my next

course of action is.. I have a Dr who I had seen but he really had zero clue

about anything and once he discovered my slight adrenal fatigue started me on

licorice and then ignored that I have every single hypothyroid symptom.. I've

had pretty bad fibromalgyia for seven years.

Thanks to the Thyroid Patient Advocacy and a fantastic friend who is also going

through something similar I was finally able to get the tests I needed and now I

have zero idea what to do next...

I have mild adrenal fatigue so I am wondering if I need to start cortisone and

totally sort out my adrenals before I start attacking the rT3?

My test results are

T4 - 114 (58 -154)

TSH - 1.20 (0.4-4.0)

FT4 - 13.9 (10-22)
