Hi, Looking for any advice re these results, I was told that I had a T4/T3 conversion issue back in October by a Dr, (in Canada) who tested and said the synthroid (100mgs for 5 yrs) was causing me lots of issues, High RT3/FT3 ratio and I was still symptomatic with the usual Hypo issues. 6th months on, I am starting to feel better but now trying to learn how to interpret my results as unfortunately no longer have access to the Dr who prescribed my Erfa, so about to swap to Thyroid -S.

( Also last May I had ferratin of 750, went to see an endo, who did all the tests which all came back negative for possible causes, she did not seem open to the possibility that the synthroid maybe adding to the Ferratin high?)
