[QUOTE="Throwawayaccount, post: 254041, member: 44005"] I don’t believe I have a total resistance to thyroid hormone, I’m more inclined to believe this is caused by RT3. I’m certainly no expert, but my response to Levothyroxine working for a few days only to have it slowly stop working again seems to me that T4 increases upon starting Levo, only to have it go down the T4 > RT3 path due to increased DIO3. Only thing is I’ve ruled out all the typical causes for increased RT3 being liver, cortisol, inflammation and iron. So I’m looking for some more uncommon causes of increased RT3. In the interim, I’m dropping HCG which I’ve been taking for 4 years as part of my TRT protocol. I know HCG has the potential to cause thyrotoxicosis in some people as it weakly increases T4 and T3 serum. I found some studies indicating that RT3 correlates with the rise in HCG in pregnant women, so this might have something to do with it [/QUOTE]
