Seeing New Dr. Advice on labs, etc.

[Guest guest]

I will be seeing a new " holistic " MD next week and he plans to do some labs. I

am in week 10 on T3 and up to 87.5 mg. Still on 35mg of HC. What labs should I

ask this Dr. for? I was thinking ferritin, Free T3, Total T3, electrolytes,

Vit. D. Anything else? I'm a little worried about a big blood draw since it

seems to deplete ferritin so quickly.

Also, still having some unpleasant symptoms off and on each day of a racing

heart (when standing; lasts for maybe 10 mins. then calms down), feeling of not

being able to take a deep breath/shortness of breath. My afternoon temps are at

98.4 right now. Still get hours of complete fatigue and weakness.

And last, any advice as I prepare for labor? I am 32 weeks pregnant and plan to

deliver at home with a midwife. How should I plan to dose HC? I usually take a

5 week pre-labor prep herbal formula but am wondering if I should skip that this

time since I'm not sure if it will interefere with the meds. I'm taking already.

Thank you for your thoughts and help and hope you are able to rest and heal

quickly, Val!
