Reverse T3 and Thyroid Resistance
A guide to the treatment of Thyroid resistance written for the brain fogged patient
This web site has been set up to gather together the information and discussions that have come from the RT3 Yahoo Group. If you are not already a member of that group then you can click here to join
Most people who have got to here have been through a few doctors along the way and spent a lot of money trying to recover their health.
I am not a Dr, I'm an electronics problem solver by profession, but I suffer from this condition and it's only since I discovered the RT3 yahoo group and a very astute lady called Valerie helped me that I've finally got to the bottom of my health problems. We are providing this information to help you ask your doctor the correct questions and help interpret the answers. Self treating, while possible, is a last resort and we do not recommend it.
Lab numbers are a source of confusion, with TSH in range Drs insist that people must feel well and it's not thyroid. The medical profession has lost sight of how people feel, they insist on treating lab numbers and not people.
