With sodium corrected

>Fasting glucose: 93 mg/dl (65-110)

Don't know, speak to Val!

>Sodium: 138.0 mEq/L (135-145)

>Potasium 3.96 mEq/L (3.5-5)

They are both low

>Chloride 100.0 mEq/L (95-105)

>Magnesium 1.9 mg/dl (1.6-2.6)

>Ferritin: 121.7 ng/ml (12-200)

Looks good, had you stopped supplementing 5 days before (if you were

supplementing)

You ought to bee hyper from these labs, if you are not (and assuming

you hadn't taken T3 for at least 12 hours before the blood draw) then

you have some resistance left or are lacking enough cortisol to get it

into the cells,.

If pulse/temperature are Ok then you can carry on at that dose, if

they are high you need to back off

Good

>I don't feel hyper, except for the pulse which is high (100 or more). I

actually feel rather hypo (tired, dry eyes).

Your sodium is low and that can cause high pulse,

Have you tried the sea salted water test??

>I took T3 the night before the blood draw, but not in the morning. However my

last dose was not 12 hours before the the blood draw, rather only 7-8 hours

before, because I went to bed quite late.

OK, should be reasonable

so, but now are back to my usual.

>Regarding cortisol, I don't know, I truly don't know. I find it so hard to

judge... I have gone down a little since my temps went high because I was

feeling better, more relaxed, but now I am feeling worse again.

Could you have had an infection that raised your temperature for a few

days???
