Have to ask you if finding a dr. to prescribe Cytomel has been an issue. My endocrinologist and 2 GP's said "No" to cytomel despite my reverse T3 being high (showing that the T4 generated through use of T4 is not undergoing conversion) or T3 is not being accepted into cells). Explanation was that the Endocrinology board only recommends dr.'s use Synthroid.

Yes, I did have a hard time with my own doctor, but a walk-in clinic doctor actually prescribed Cytomel the first time based on bloodwork, and then an endocrinologist chose to continue it for me. It was a life-changer! So thankful that I found a doctor who believed in it.
Another option is to find a naturopathic doctor who can prescribe desiccated thyroid because it has both T3 and T4, so it may help you…
