I don't think, personally, your FT4 is high enough to be producing rT3. It's almost non-existant. You certainly do need to increase your ferritin a bit, but it could just be that your FT3 is too high for you. Try decreasing that a little, and see if it helps - but only a tiny bit!
I'm only on 20mg T3.. from my results in march it was ok, I was functioning with some hypo symptoms and my T4 was higher than it is now. Why is there so much T3 floating around? I feel it's not getting into the cells because I'm very tired compared to in march.
I've been through 3 months of extreme stress so I feel my cortisol has gone up and my iron down. I have read that these conditions can cause RT3... could it be?
So I have bought some more iron to get me back to 80.
I don't feel I should decrease the T3 because I'll feel even more tired. Should I decrease T4 down to 25mg?... for a week?... not sure?
Maybe those conditions can cause rT3, but you still need to have some T4 to convert to rT3, and yours is very, very low. So, it's rather doubtful.
On the other hand, taking too much T3 can also make you tired. Just try reducing by a quarter tablet, see how it goes. You can always put it back up again, if you don't feel well.
