Did you check out Wilson's syndrome (reverse T3 dominance)? What is important is not the outright number of Rt3, but the ratio between Rt3 and T3. It is worth looking around the internet for more info on this. I did have a good site, but the link no longer works for some reason. Let me know if you find something useful.Panamahathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10248512242594265755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035913905233652003.post-21748858887532524552012-01-09T16:49:08.755-05:002012-01-09T16:49:08.755-05:00Ok ladies, so you got me thinking so I went back a...Ok ladies, so you got me thinking so I went back and checked. I had my reverse t3 tested two years ago. It was 329. Is that normal? My Tsh is always around 1 and I have had that tested more than once. I looked online and it seemed to be in range but sometimes the range for IF can be different than for general health. I also had anti-thyroid antibodies tested and they came back normal. <br />Thanks for the kind words. They help me to push forward. I am just so close that I do not want to stop yet.Simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707429755251982900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035913905233652003.post-79146955632859735682012-01-08T21:24:04.526-05:002012-01-08T21:24:04.526-05:00Make sure you get tested for reverse T3. Reverse ...Make sure you get tested for reverse T3. Reverse T3 dominance is also known as Wilson's syndrome. Unfortunately it is not common and many doctors either have not heard of it, or "don't believe in it". There are very few drs who would run a T3 test as part of a regular thyroid panel screen, which is why you have to specifically ask for it. I have it and have been treating it for 2 years with slow release T3 (triiodithyronine- this is not the same as thyroxine). It has not cured my recurrent miscarriage, but I feel a lot less tired and awful all the time. Here is a link to a site I found useful, but you might want to google about on your own. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.custommedicine.com.au/health-articles/reverse-t3-dominance/Panamahathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10248512242594265755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035913905233652003.post-90492204602619796542012-01-08T21:19:56.260-05:002012-01-08T21:19:56.260-05:00The thyroid symptoms sounds like me, minus the con...The thyroid symptoms sounds like me, minus the constipation (but supposedly I have ulcerative colitis). It took getting my bloodwork run at PPVI to finally get diagnosed with being hypothyroid. None of my tests here in Canada indicated that there was anything wrong. <br /><br />Your tenacity is amazing!JellyBellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12446863670679588932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035913905233652003.post-78651146296647479322012-01-08T21:13:10.508-05:002012-01-08T21:13:10.508-05:00Yes, thyroid is crucial, also helps your adrenals ...Yes, thyroid is crucial, also helps your adrenals work better when the thyroid is under control.<br />Reading this brings me back to when I was doing one test and one treatment after another after another... it is SO exhausting, even reading about your journey right now.

I take Synthroid/Levothyroxine (had my left half of my thyroid removed) bu am taking T3 for the low temps, cold, etc. it's prescribed thru Dr. Keefe at PPVI. I think it will help if you haven't tried it already.All in His Perfect Timinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300978285191861049noreply@blogger.com
