I just got all my labs back and I'm not sure what it all means.

TSH 4.28
Free T4 1.0
Free T3 2.9
Reverse T3 289

My TSH isn't even close to optimal(1.3-1.8)
My FT4 is close to optimal(1.2-1.3)
My FT3 is close to optimal(3.2-3.3)

I have no clue what my RT3 means. Seems like it's on the high side. Could this be blocking my body from using the FT3?

Also, I've been taking my temps in the morning when I wake up and the last two days it's been 97 and 96.4. That's using a Geratherm thermometer under the arm while still laying in bed.

BTW, I'm trying to use this site to interpret the results. This is where I got the optimal levels.

BTW, I was tested for Hoshimoto's and those tests came back normal.
