Guest guest Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I am convinced that I was born iodine deficient because my physical features and birth circumstances match a huge list of those for iodine deficiency/hypothyroidism. I've been told i look russian, which is true, and I just clicked that the russians I look like (broad pale face etc etc) are probably iodine deficient too. I also have a lot of the lifelong symptoms of iodine deficiency and can easily sleep 12-18 hours a day. I've been formally diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia, adhd and severe ibs with probably multiple food intolerances. So I'm detoxing. Unfortunately I don't know of any doctors in Oz that know about this iodine thing and have realised to my horror that most of them can't interpret blood test results. I did notice that my blood test results match those reported by the NHMRC in relation to sheep & the hepatological effects of fluoride. Unfortunately there were apparently no studies on fluoride and human hepatology to review. I am somewhat anaemic iron - 16.5 umol/L (Most drs seem to think this is just fine but it gets me rejected from the blood bank so it can't be that great) In the space of 2 years my results have been as follows Transferrin from 3.2 to 2.4 g/L IBC Calc has increased from 70 to 54 umol/L Saturation has increased from 23 to 31 % Ferritin has gone from 7 to 24 ug/L My TSH has gone from 2.7 to 1.11 mU/L I don't have a T3 or T4 yet. My B12 is 404 Haemoglobin is 129 RCC 4.2 Haematocrit .38 lymphocytes decreased from 1.4 to 1.25 monocytes decreased from .9 to .52 Basophils decreased from .1 to .05 Platelets decreased from 339 to 296 ESR was 8 Sodium is 139 potassium 3.8 up to 4.2 chloride 105 Urea up from 5.9 to 6.3 creatinine static at 80 egfr is 70 GGT is up from 34 to *54 LD is 164 Total Protein 68 Albuimin 45 Globumin 23 DHEA is 3.7 Plasma cortisol estimation is 467.3 nmol/l I don't know if blood tests are reported in the same manner in the US. Is anyone able to suggest what further tests I should request to shed light on stuff. I'm not overweight but there is diabetes in the family. Sorry for such a big ask, but any tips - however small- would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
