your log is almost dead… 
in b4 thread dies!
(apologize if you posted this but I don’t have time to check 45 pages right now) Do you have good health insurance? Reverse T3 can well be your problem, but it couldn’t hurt to test some other stuff - antibodies (for Hashi’s), iron labs including ferritin.
I know a fair amount about thyroid stuffs from looking into my own health issues, feel free to shoot me a PM if you want (regarding your specific lab values etc.)
hai
nice volume minm
for your knee ice delemna- two words
frozen peas.
Ah ok I just thought that body aches go hand and hand with thyroid issues. I had mine tested for the weird body aches I sometimes get, but test came back normal.
Wheat bran makes me bloated, you tried your best.
I think this is the fastest I’ve filled up a log! Thank you all for the support!!!
Greg- hey buddy. At least I tried, right?? 
I know this log is almost dead. I don’t feel Betty Strong just yet. Quite the opposite, in fact. But I get stronger the more I keep holding out and not giving up. But I feel Betty tired, blahhh.
sjc- hey! Thanks for stopping by and for the input. I’ve had a fellow T-Nation member advising me along the way and she said the same thing. reverse t3 syndrome. Which makes perfect sense.
I got my Rt3 test back yesterday and it remains high. Can’t wait to get in with the specialist and get on with life!!! My antibodies are also high. Have actually doubled since I started taking meds!!! Last test had me at 373! My Ft4 is also rising. Have you figured out whats up with you, yet??
Thanks KM- I do my best. Frozen peas. Perfect!
MT- sounds like a gluten intolerance to me! Have you tried an elimination type diet?
So yesterday was fun. Went to the Baltimore Aquarium and hung out with the SIL. Good times. Slept like absolute ASS last night though. grrr
Whats annoying, is that the more tired I am, the worse the heart palps are. (ya, still got those)
Still going to the gym, because at least there I feel alive! I’ll nap later. I have no idea on what to name my next log, lol. So I may be absent for a day or two. Or how about…The Battle continues…hmmm?
Edit: killed it. See you on the other side!!
