High reverse T3

[patty818]

I’ve bent having a tough time getting my TSH to stay level.  It started 3 yrs ago when I got a vertigo disorder called MAV.  I have 24/7 vertigo.  My last testing went was tsh 0.862, free t3 2.6, free t4 1.78 high, reverse t3 29.90 high.  I’ve read when rt3 is high you should cut the t4 med dose and add t3 but my endo won’t add t3 because I have bad anxiety and he said this will create more.  He said all my numbers are normal and rt3 means nothing. So he aid to leave the med as is. I’m on Levoxyl.75 4 days a week and .88 3 days.  I’m also on propranolol.20mgs twice a day for the MAV and clonazepam.25mgs a day for the anxiety.  I feel very tired a lot since starting the clonazepam but endo said to drop the morning dose of propranolol to 10mgs to see if it helps the fatigue.  But I think I should drop the thyroid med to .75 5 days and .88 to 2 days.  What are your thoughts on all this? Thank you

Your doctor is so wrong about so many things, starting with you being incorrectly medicated.  But before getting into a needed discussion please tell  us why were you initially diagnosed as hypothyroid.  Was it related to Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, or something else?  Also please tell us about all the symptoms you have.   Also is your MAV constant, or sporadic?
