Low Reverse T3

Can anyone give me information on low reverse T3? All of the information on the web seems to be about high levels of RT3. I have a low level, and hypothyroidism. I have so many unresolved health issues right now, and am hoping some knowledge here could help me figure out what to do. Thank you!

Welcome to the forum, EIRR.

If you post your recent thyroid results with the lab ref ranges (the figures in brackets after results) it will help members to advise and comment.

Low rT3 isn't perceived as a problem in the way high rT3 is. rT3 may be low because your FT4 and FT3 are low which indicates undermedicaton.

High rT3 may be due to high levels of unconverted T4 which may block receptor cells preventing T3 entering the cells which makes a patient functionally hypothyroid.
