Lowered Reverse T3 with Vit C and Selenium

I just got my labs back and I managed to lower my Reverse T3 from 29, to 18 in 3 months.

[TD="class: name fixed"]Range Reverse T3 Range: 8- 25 ng/dL[/TD]
[TD="class: rsltflag_5 scroll"]9/13/16: Value 29 H[/TD]
[TD="class: scroll"]12/13/16: Value 18[/TD]
[/TR]

I have Hashimotos that I am not medicated for at the moment, and the only adjustment I made was adding 200 mcg Selenium daily, and 500mg Vitamin C 3x a day. All of my other #'s were/still are great.

The reason I added the vitamin C, was after my labs came back with high rt3 I wanted to track down the cause. I did a cortisol saliva test which came back with high #'s, at which point I found vit c could help reduce cortisol. As a high stress person this option made sense.
