Re: Levels and advice

[Guest guest]

FT4 is slightly below midrange.

Below midrange. NOT good.

FT4 above the FT3 is also not good.

You're on 35mg HC? And it looks as tho you're not absorbing your thyroid

hormones. So, please test our aldosterone/renin to se if THAT adrenal

hormone is also low. If not, you may need to switch to adrenal support

that has a lottle more " oomph " like prednisoLone (brand name Medrol or

Deltacortril from Europe). HOWEVER, I see that your Ferritin is 40.3 when

it NEEDS to be 70-100 or you will not be able to absorb your thyroid

hormones well at all. And this could easily be at the root of the issue

with your thyroid.

Big question is did you start 1/2 the WP before treating thyroid or after

starting to treat thyroid? Did you start it de to your thyroid messing up

sex hormones?
