Reverse T3 question - Val or anyone please!

[Guest guest]

I do not have a thyroid due to thyroid cancer and since the surgery (2002), I

progressively felt worse (low energy, always felt like sleeping, anxiety,

irritability, extreme mood shifts). Recently my nurse practitioner ran RT3

tests and the ratio with Free T3 shows I definintely have RT3 issues. I also

have low ferritin which I am working on and am testing my adrenals tomorrow with

4x saliva tests.

My question is....In the past I have gone thru 2-3 months of feeling aweful,

barely able to function and go to work, terrible mood swings, etc. Then I would

feel almost normal for a month if I was lucky, then back to feeling horrid. My

psychiatrist thinks it's a mood disorder and has me on a mood stabilizer, but I

am wondering if the real reason was my RT3 and adrenals?

Once I get the RT3 cleared out, do you think I could try and taper off the mood

stabilizer (Seroquel).

Thanks!
