Re: heidi, delayed reply:) Ferritin

March 20, 2010

My ferritin was around 34 in August, 91 in November and 138 on Feb 1st. In

August I started supplementing with 6 tabs daily of 29 mg elemental iron in a

chelated iron tab (local store brand). When I started on T3 only in October I

also ate one pound a week of grass-fed beef liver, usually for breakfast. Yeah,

ugh. Quit that after the February lab. On Val's advice I now take one iron tab a

day, sometimes two.

I don't experience anxiety and didn't realize I had low ferritin symptoms until

Val mentioned anxiety or AGITATION. I got agitated easily, upset at being kept

waiting, or if someone didn't do what they said they would do. Once my ferritin

got up there, I mellowed out and stopped getting riled. I also have weak

adrenals, so tired, wired, shaky and fatigued--yup. Hard to know whether the

weak adrenals or low ferritin caused which.

I am trying to lower my HC dose a bit right now, so some of those symptoms are

stronger, but I still wake up smiling with more T3 in my system.
