Val and Nick,T3 and T4 question

[Guest guest]

I have been on T3 only for 5 months now.In the beginning in the second month I

felt very good and since then it's been a lot of problems.I also can't raise the

T3 more then 50mcg in any way.I did the thyroid test but the FT3 is not reliable

because I took a T3 before the test and have to repeat this one but my TSH and

FT4 are very suppressed. RT3 is 3,non existing anymore.

If my FT3 is in the high levels that should mean I did clear the RT3.

I feel very hypo,I also gained a lot of weight foe the last few months to on top

of all the hypo symptoms.I wonder in my case if adding a T4 to the T3 is a good

idea to do? Is it possible that I can be better with some T4 to the T3 ,since I

can't get to the T3 dose I need.I know I can tolerate T4 the worry is if I build

up a RT3?

Are there people after clearing the RT3 on T3 only are feeling good on T$ and T3

together?

Please give me your advise.

Thanks
