Hi : Hang in there, Moderator was on Synthroid for years and

also had RT3 problems, and SHE'S doing a whole lot better!

Have you read Moderator Nick's website? It is a must-read for those of us with

RT3 issues. Here's a link:

http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/

Moderator Nick's website has the best in-depth info, but I'll try to give a very

short summary here. Progress on an RT3 problem can be impeded by low iron

and/or adrenal issues, (which so many of us here have had), so the order of

action is:

1. Check iron status, address any problems

2. Check adrenal status, address any problems

3. Start on T3-only

From Nick's web page:

Hope this helps.

problem due to years of Synthroid treatment, etc. I have Hashimotos after RAI

treatment for Hyperthyroidism 10 yrs ago.

> My last lab results:

> TSH 5.20 (.40-4.50 RANGE)

> THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES 51 (LESS THAN 35 IU/mL RANGE)

> T3/FREE 235 (230-420 pg/dL RANGE)

> REV.T3 35 (11-32 ng/dL RANGE)

>

> I have not been tested for adrenal fatigue, but have most of the symptoms. Any

advice would be a blessing and appreciated more than you know!

> I also don't know order of action to take; I am completely miserable and at

the end of my rope...
