RE: further update on the Hotze clinic

Yeah! It sounds like a good report

except for the Free T3 problem. I’m glad you are making

progress.

It sure does take a while to get that

ferritin built up.

further update on the Hotze clinic

I got the call about the labs Friday (from my 12/20

visit) and a copy

was faxed to me immediately. My TSH was .007 and there wasn't a peep!

That's the good news.

They didn't test my Free T3 (!), so I cannot compare to the test I had

done on my own in July, through HealthCheckUSA... but all of the rest

of my numbers are going in the directions I want.

My ferritin has finally climbed from 38 to 57, so that's on the way to

getting better. My serum iron is still near the bottom of the range,

so I will be continuing that supplement for at least another year...

maybe life.

My Vit D (a test they added) was LOW, which surprised me, so I will up

my dose of that immediately - she said 2000 IU, twice a day, but I

think I'll work my way up to that dose.

They agreed that it was still okay to up my Armour 1/2 grain even with

that low TSH, based on my complaint of afternoon tiredness, so they are

listening to symptoms! WHEW.
