Reverse T3 and Synthyroid

Will taking Synthyroid cause my Reverse T3 to go even higher inside of to the FT3 where it's needed?
I have Hashi's. The whole Reverse T3 situation confuses me.

6/5/2014

TSH       2.73   (.55-4.78) dr does believe it should be 2-2.50
Free T3   2.9  (2.3-4.2)
Free T4   1.35 (.89-1.76)
Reverse T3  24 (9.2-24.1)
TPOab  992.40  (<60)

Thanks

Were you on meds when those labs were drawn?

Were you recently diagnosed?
