You are in the wrong place really for the best advice on Natural

thyroid, it has a group of it's own that is busier than this one

http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/things-we-have-learned/

is their web site and talks about dosing.

You are being too conservative and it may end up making you worse by

suppressing production and not replacing enough.

Your FT3 is very low which is what's making the ratio bad for you,

Natural MAY bring the FT3 up without bringing the reverse up, in which

case the ratio will improve and you will be OK. If the RT3 comes up

as well the ratio will stay bad and it's a sign that you need to go T3

only which is what this group can help with
