What next? Any advice?

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

Apologies in advance for a long, dreary post. I've just had the results back

from the further vit tests I had taken in Dec... like the TSH etc they all seem

fine - this is a good thing of course, but it's leaving me quite depressed as I

just don't know what to do next... if all the tests say I'm ok, whay am I

getting all these hypo symptoms? I think I need to address the adrenal issue,

but as I am now living in Asia I cannot get the Nutri Adrenal shipped to me, as

customs won't let it through... so I have to order it to be delivered to Aus

which means I can't collect till June, and will not be able to start taking it

till then. based on previous advice I have upped my range of supplements and am

now taking iron, Vit C, B complex, magnesium, as well a a multi. I will post

all the results from the past ouple of months and, please, please, please, if

anyone has any suggestions as to what I might look at next please let me know...

having just moved countries and started a new job again, I'm really struggling

to keep going with such low energy levels when I need to be so much more awake,

less foggy and with much more energy. (At least it's hot here in Brunei, so my

low body temp is not a problem!)

results:

iron: 11.7 (ref range 9.0 - 26.0)

transferrin: 2.40 (2.10 - 3.80)

saturation: 20 (13- 51)

ferritin: 58 (10-120?- hard to make out on page)

Free t4: 13.5 (9.0 - 25)

TSH: 1.62 (0.35 - 5.50)

Free T3: 4.2 (3.5 - 6.5)

Cortisol: 635 (110- 550)

Magnesium, serum: 0.70 (0.65 - 1.050)

Potassium: 3.9 (3.3-5.1)

Vit B12: 219 (185 & above)

Folate, serum: 41 ( >12.9)(greater than 12.9 is ok?)

Copper, serum: 186.5 (clinical reference value, max: 140ug/100ml)

Sheila has said that B12, magnesium & potassium should all be top of the range -

looks like I am at the wrong end of the range in mag/pot but hard to guage the

B12 as it just says ' & above' for the upper end of the ref range. I've ruled

out zinc as the tabs tasted disgusting which I read means you don;t need them -

hope I got that right.

D3 was going to cost $200 so I will be doing by mail through a Birmingham

hospital.

Please let me know what I should try next... I'm stuck and feeling like my

efforts to do something about my health are going nowhere while my health just

deteriorates.

Thanks,
