Val,

I did.Here are the results.

iron 142 29-180

unsaturated iron binding 121 141-353 ,I always have been with this low binding

and when asked the hematologyst he say it's not a concern ar anything to worry

about.

TIBC 263 220-428

ferritin 202 10-290

Val, what else would you suggest before I go to add T4? I wanted to ask you

also,when you went to a T4 and T3 after you cleared your RT3 how long took you

to see it di dnot work and went back to T3 only?

I want so much to be able to stay on T3 only but I'm not able to raise more T3.I

know my RT3 from 68 went down to 3 ,my TSH is 0.04,FT4 is 0.30,but my FT3 is not

real because I had taken the T3 before that. I repeated the test yesterday and

if it turns out my FT3 is in good levels will proof I cleared RT3 and I can't

raise T3 ,should I add some T4? Since,I'm taking 50mcg T3 and I was on 100,120mg

of T4 when I was doing ok for 20 years,before I crashed ,what amount sholuld I

add of T4?

Please give me your suggestion,I know you have gone trough so mucha and seen a

lot. I need your input to make a right desicion,please.

Thanks so much

Val,

I just did a reaserch on C-reacive protein.

" How is it used?

The CRP test is useful in assessing patients with:

Inflammatory bowel disease

Some forms of arthritis

Autoimmune diseases

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)

CRP may be used to screen apparently healthy people for the following

conditions. However, in these cases, the more sensitive test hs-CRP will be

ordered:

Coronary heart disease (CHD)

Cardiovascular disease

While the CRP test is not specific enough to diagnose a particular disease, it

does serve as a general marker for infection and inflammation, thus alerting

medical professionals that further testing and treatment may be necessary "

Val, I do have 2 of the pointed deases.

I have Helicobacter pylori and I have autoimunne deases Hashimoto.

So,the test will be sure positive,which will confirm this problems. But how this

2 things can interfiere with tolerating T3? I don't think that will help my

case,doing this test. I know you said you had Hpylori and did go away after you

got under control your thyroid.

So,this won't get me farther with solving my problem why I can't raise more T3?

I'm goingto have in a 2 weeks probably mny new thyroid test and will se what the

FT3 will be then.

Thanks

to 180mcg T4 and still was very bad.

> Val if I covered everything it's necessery to get on a good dose of T3 and I

can't go higher,what is the next for me? I pushed my ferritin form 13 to 200,I

was on 35 mg HC for 7 months and now I have to lower it for a high corts

symtoms.My vit D is 50 form 10. Now the last thing I'm doing is started th

eflorinef. If I have to go on T4 and T3 combo,what do you suggest to be the

amount of T3 and the amount of T4?

It is when it si VERY high that it affects Feritin levels falsely

elevating them as CRP shows inflammation.
