Starvation has a profound effect on thyroid function, causing a decrease in serum T3 concentration and a reciprocal increase in rT3 level.

You are worsening your metabolic problems with such a calorie deficit. And once your Reversed T3 (rT3) is too high you will have to take T3 only drugs (Cytomel) to fix this and MDs really don't like to prescribe the T3 only.
EDIT: Wow Lisa, I posted before reading your posts. I guess my advice is just a confirmation of everything you said.
