[QUOTE="TRicker, post: 228579, member: 42831"] I've asked this in another thread, but wondered if others have experienced this with thyroid meds and high RT3. My main question is, has anyone experienced sexual symptoms from high RT3? My main complaints are ED, lack of sensitivity, and severe delayed ejaculation. I've also had some recent fat gain despite dieting, which I attribute to the high RT3. I know high RT3 can cause hypothyroid symptoms, and hypothyroidism can cause hypogonadism in natural men. [I]But can high RT3 cause sexual symptoms in men on TRT? Or has anyone experienced any of these symptoms from thyroid medications themselves? [/I]I know [USER=42608]@Anonymon[/USER] experienced similar problems from T3 meds. Thyroid Labs: TSH: 1.7 (.45 - 4.5) T4 Free: 1.36 (.82 - 1.77) T3 Free: 3.5 (2 - 4.4) Reverse T3: 25 (9.2 - 24.1) Other Labs: Total T: 600 (trough) SHBG: 17 (low from TRT, it goes up when not on TRT) E2 Sensitive: 25 Iron: 145 (Range 38-169) TBIC: 318 (Range 250-450) Ferritin: 110 (Range 30-400) Prolactin: 7 (4-15) Progesterone: .3 (0-.5) Pregnenolone: <10 (Range Unknown) Cortisol 4-Point Salivary Test: In range and close to optimal I've tried 25mcg of T3 per day for two weeks, followed by 50mcg's per day for two weeks with no noticeable change. I went up to 75mcg's per day, but I felt jittery, nauseous, and had a rapid rate. Perhaps I need to be on thyroid meds longer? I also don't want to become dependent on thyroid meds for life by trying to reduce RT3, unless it is necessary. I've also experimented with different test dosages, hcg/no hcg, ai/no ai, etc. I still don't know what's causing the high RT3, and have had a 4-point saliva cortisol test with normal results (I definitely thought my cortisol would be sky high from stress, but it was normal and well within all ranges). My Doctor does not think the High RT3 is iron or ferritin related. He also stated that if it was inflammation related, my ferritin would be higher. Any thoughts or input is appreciated! [/QUOTE]
