But does it seem possible I could feel almost back to myself for 1 month or 2

and then dip into depression/anxiety/low energy for a month or 2? Could RT3 do

that?

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.

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?
