Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 My ferritin is 9. But I have never had it above 24 my whole life. I have always had very heavy periods that a week and a half. I just went off the pill and it is even worse. How do I get my T3 higher? Just by raising my armour? I can't raise armour much higher without feeling sick as you may guess.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 You need to take MORE iron than you are taking. Usually it owuld be 10-200mg daily of elemental iron. I doubt oyu will be able to raise T3 at all wiht Ferritin this low. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 With injections you shoud not need it as often so that should be fine. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
