Re: New labs--have me worried...questions from another board member for Val

[Guest guest]

I hope you all won't mind me interjecting some questions into this thread. Val,

your comment that ERFA was higher in T3 is, I believe, dead on.

For lack of anything else to take, I have been on the ERFA now, 1 and 1/4 grain

for about a month. (I am the pt that talked with you around your birthday,

Lyme, high hemoglobin/hematocrit). My last ferritin (November) was 24. I am

having some anxiety with the same ERFA dose that did NOT provoke anxiety on the

same dose of Nature-throid; esp situational social anxiety.

Would this be improved (and are there others that have had this experience) with

a higher ferritin level? My last RT3 was 210 and total T3 was was 130 (frees

did not get run because Labcorps ran the wrong thing/antiquated parameters). I

will be having frees, Reverse T3 run in the next couple of days.

I HAVE had improvement in all other areas on the ERFA...mood, energy level,

sleep, am able to finally lose a little weight..the only other " hyper " symptoms

besides the anxiety are a little head/hand tremor and intermittent rapid resting

heart rate (96..my usual is 66).

And again, can you give me any guidance as to how to get ferritin up w/o

affecting H/H? Is there still a NTH ferritin group?

Thx,

Angie

I have not heard of a Ferritin group associate wiht NTH. And

unfortunately I do nto knwo THAT much abiut it. But yes those symotms

should improve wiht better ferritin levels and less RT3 if it continues

ot go down adn your ratio of T3/RT3 gets better.

The ferritin group may have been on the about.com site..I could be

mistaken..what, in your opinion is the best iron supplement? I have Ironsorb by

Jarrow..I've heard good things about the " whole foods " (name of manufacturer

escapes me right now) iron supplement.
