Hello, my last bloods in January this year showed:

RT3 - 454 pmol/L

FT3 - 5.8 pmol/L

Sodium - 138mmol/L (135 - 145)

Potassium - 3.8mmol/L (3.5 - 5.5)

Ferritin - 24 ug/L (15 - 200)

From above, it seems like I certainly have a RT3 problem. I have lowered my NTH

(compounded) to 2 grains a day (was up to 4.5 grains at one stage but never

really had complete relief from my symptoms. My HR was crazy and although I

seemed to have a short period where I felt good I was quickly feeling pretty

horrid again.

I also asked for cortisol salivary tests as I had felt like after a year on HC

that my cortisol levels were now too high (I had already started to taper down

from 28mg/day). Sure enough my results showed I was high in all 4 times of the

day...out of the range for each one. So, I decided to further taper (about 2mg

every 12 days or so) down to nothing as of one week ago. With each taper the

'buzzyness and sense of feeling wired/anxious got better, but in the last week

with being on nothing I have suffered:

- terrible headaches(like a tight band at the back of my head

- sense of right side of body feeling heavy/moving slowly

- muscle cramps

- dizziness, room spinning now and then

- a different type of anxiety that just makes me want to cry that comes out of

no where and makes me want to just crawl into bed.

I am taking a multivitamin, Vitamin B complex, Vit C and magnesium...plus sea

salt twice a day.

What am I doing wrong or missing? I have already had to have time off work cause

can't function properly like this.

Any advice would be incredibly appreciated.

Many thanks :)

Ferritin - 24 ug/L (15 - 200)

Thsi is what oyu are missing. You need iron horribly. I would start with

150-200mg of elemental iron daily. You may need to work up to that dose and take

it on empty stomach twice a day wiht vitamin C.

Sorry, forgot to mention that I am taking a liquid iron supplement of an

evening...was originally taking 200mg/day but after a week and a bit ended up

with terrible bowel issues for 4 days straight, which I found really

disheartening...all I want to do is raise my ferritin but my bowel is so

sensitive to it. I now take 120mg/day but have to watch it, so the same thing

doesn't happen again.

Do you think staying off the HC is therefore a good idea? I can't find anyone

talking about ending up with high cortisol levels all day after HC use (mine was

12 months in total). I now feel that it is common sense to not take HC anymore

given my levels, but am I now at risk of them going in the opposite direction?

I bought some phosphatidyl serine today (the type that Janie recommends) but am

apprehensive about trying it. I bought it with the idea of it assisting with

balancing out my cortisol levels. Good idea or should I just give my body a

chance to level them out on their own?
