[QUOTE="30005Gator, post: 129469, member: 18436"] I found out that I have high Reverse T3, and subsequent tests revealed that I have very low Ferritin. My first test came in at 34 (30-400), so I began taking an Iron supplement ([URL='https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0085OTVJO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1']Proferrin Forte[/URL]). After 45 days on this supplement, my Ferritin is now at 38. I gave blood once back in June, and I don't know what my Ferritin was before that.
