Reverse t3 is an inactive form of T3 that sits in the receptors of t3 but doesn’t do the work.
I think you need to check the adrenals but this is tough as cortisol I up and down depending on the day.
Morning cortisol 8 am
ACTH
C peptide
Insulin
From what I’ve read people with this rt3/ft3 ratio problem should be on T3 only meds.
I’ve also read that you need to fix the adrenals to fix the problem.
You could try buying the book adrenal fatigue or doing the adrenal fatigue test online and see if you fit to the symptoms.
Also stop the thyroid madness website and further more the book are informative.
Get a 4 point cortisol test and go see a naturopath or homeopath.
Test thy thyroid further next time you test

I am not a thyroid expert and you need to make informed disitions regarding your health as this is tricky business and adrenal fatigue can be a long road to recovery… It sounds like you are on the right track by not eating junk but it is more indepth then this…
