Re: Got a bad cold today! :( + Latest FT3 and Ferritin results!

[Guest guest]

Just got back from the GP. He didn't want to give me beta blockers tells me it's much worse getting a slow pulse than a fast one, and, in worst case, the heart can stop. He is an anesthetic specialist, so I think he knows a thing or two arbout hearts. Oh well. So... My whites were high (12.5) and some of the other stuff were high too. He saw a red throat and tonsils, and then he gave me Apoliccin which is a penicillin, 660 mg. I shall take 4 pills daily for 5. I will be taking these pills while I am flying down to Belgium. Hope I'll be fine. GP said they should work within 24 hours.The funny thing is, I had whites at 12.5 like 1 month ago, then they came down to 7 again. So maybe all I need is vitamins and stuff? Oh well. I'll take my penicillin this time. Maybe my tonsils will be better after this too.I will schedule my

tonsil laser operation for late Mid to late March. I think this is VERY important to fix.I stress dosed with 5 mg HC between my first and second dose today. Will take 5 mg more HC extra soon. Can I do 10 mg extra HC daily for 3 days, but not longer, right? After 3 days I can just go down to my regular dose without worrying I am going down too fast?BLOOD SAMPLE RESULTS 5th of March 2010: (Not all was done, but most of it!)FT3: 7.0 - Good, right? It was 5.7 about 1 week ago!Ferritin: 65 - Well at least it's not going down!S-Iron: 25 (Range: 5 - 35) I am within the range and can increase iron intake.Transferrin: 2.7 (2.0 - 5.0)Transferrin saturation: 39% (Range goes up to 15 - 57%)Sodium: 143 - It was 139 a few weeks ago. Can it just change like that for no reason!?Potassium: 4.1Chloride: 105 (best value I've had. it's always 99 or 100, which is bottom range and

under it)Any words on advice?
