[QUOTE="1Draw, post: 108257, member: 12868"] Have you ever tested your ferritin? Low ferritin is a cause as well as blood pressure meds, especially beta blockers (metoprolol), diabetic meds, anti seizure and anti depressants, and so on. Any surgery can put stress on your system as well. Extreme stress can also be a cause. Read thru the link to see if any of the causes apply to you. Once you remedy the cause, then your conversion rate of T4 to T3 should return to normal but, you have to get your RT3 less than 15 and your ratio of T3/RT3 over 20. You can start taking cytomel and this will help you lower your RT3 and hopefully you will find out what caused it in the first place. I know, my RT3 was 28.1 in Feb and have been on Cytomel 20 mcg day since then and symptoms have disappeared so far. Have a consult coming up so, will be interesting to see what my levels are now. My RT3 was caused by frequent donations which lowered my iron and ferritin along with a killer sinus infection. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
