Is my iron result low, please can you comment....

[Guest guest]

Is my Iron too low. As written previously my iron results are:

98 ug/L (15-250)

My TSH 21.8 mu/L. Is this likely to improve in next 6 weeks while gradually

increasing Erfa, still only taking it very slowly and on 1 grain daily divided

into 1/2 grain morning and 1/2 in afternoon.

during the day since the beginning of March and will gradually increase by 1/4

or 1/2 grain after 3 weeks. Doc suggests I have bloods in 6 weeks time, will my

TSH be likely to be back to normal by then or at least improved? She is NOT

impressed about me not taking Levo!!
