Low Energy / Low Libido / Poor Sleep / High Cortisol / Low (Free) T (?)

[TRicker]

@StepbyStep I know this is an old thread, but how did the T3 treatment go?

I also have high RT3 (26 on a range of 9-24), and high cortisol is most likely the problem as iron and ferritin are at good levels.
I tried T3 at 25mcg's per day up to 50mcg's per day with no improvement in symptoms.

It has been a while since I went through the T3 treatment. My life and TRT protocol was a mess during that time and I felt awful. The only thing I do know is that the T3 treatment was successful in lowering my RT3 as well as my TSH. (TSH was 2.5ish prior and went down to 1).

I got my life sorted out, started using iodized salt when cooking and eat a brazil nut once in a while and got my TRT protocol sorted out. My TSH has been holding steady at 1.5ish since(first bloods of 2022 getting done today though). Whether the T3 treatment helped I do not know.

I suspected high Cortisol too and did a couple diurnal tests. No abnormalities found.
