Guest guest Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Got my lab results today; I am shocked at how bad they are as I've been feeling better, except for being tired. But especially my ferritin- I've been taking 200 mg of elemental iron a day, eating red meat daily, and been tolerating my T3 raises to my 100 mcg at present so I was sure it would be up. I would appreciate your comments, Val. Thank you! TSH 1.01 range 0.40-2.70 Thyroxine, Free, Direct 0.26 range 0.8-1.8 T3 Total 643 range 76-181 Ferritin 18 range 10-154 (ugh!) calcium, serum 8.5 range 8.6-10.2 sodium 139 range 135-146 potassium 4.4 range 3.5-5.3 chloride 105 range 98-110 carbon dioxide 23 range 21-33 creatinine .44 range .58-1.06 glucose 73 range 65-99 eGFR <60 white blood 7.3 range 3.8-10.8 red bllod 3.47 range 3.80-5.10 hemoglobin 12.2 range 11.7-15.5 hematocrit 34.3 range35.0-45.0 Platelet count 230 range 140-400 Do you think my iron is staying low because of the baby's need for iron? I'm amazed I can tolerate the T3 and am wondering if I am due for a raise since temps are not quite there and I'm soo tired? Thanks again, in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
