Your reverse T3 is so low as you have hardly any thyroid in you! It

takes T4 to majke RT3 and ther eisn;t much of that floatign around in

you to make it with . I would strongly suuggest pituitary testing before

oyu go on the HC cream,. It is not accurate once you start cortiosl

treatment and you will have HELL getting off it again to test later.

With all your hormones this low I sincerely think you have a pit problem

btu the high TSH might contradict that. You should also have aldosterone

tested as with levels this low of cortiosk it is likely you also are low

in that too,

How are you managing with only 1/2 grain of Armour? I went from 112 mcg

Unithroid straight to 2 grains of Armour. Your labs show that you are really

hypo. Can you tolerate more Armour until you get the labs suggested and

then start the HC cream?

I'm really tired. My DO wanted to ramp up on the Armour. I was only

supposed to stay at this level for 2 weeks, but a number of unrelated

issues occurred (including Walgreens giving me the wrong instructions

for taking Armour & a Gallstone attack) that's delayed the increase.
