Help with my lab results, please.

[Guest guest]

Any counsel on what else I need to doing/taking now?

Here are my labs drawn March 4 (not taking salt 36 hrs before nor iron for 5

days before). This is after 14 weeks of T3 only. It looks as though the

ferritin I requested did not get done, so I hope the iron panel is still

somewhat helpful. Sodium seems right, not so sure about renin and aldosterone,

and if I need to treat, what to do. I'll go read websites while I'm awaiting a

response:

TSH .022 (.450-4.5)

Triiodothyronine, Free, Serum 4.5 (2.0-4.4)

T4 Free (direct) 0.23 (0.82-1.77)

Reverse T3 21 (90-350)

Iron Bind. Cap 270 (250-450)

UIBC 161 (150-375)

Iron, serum 109 (35-155)

Iron saturation 40 (15-55)

Renin activity, plasma 0.51 (1.31-3.95)

Aldosterone 4.3 (4.0-31.0)

Sodium, Serum 143 (135-145)

Potassium, Serum 4.0 (3.5-5.2)

Vit B12 1025 (211-946)

I am currently taking 1 tsp sea salt water spread through the day. I take iron

morning and evening iron (Solgar gentle 25 mg) w/vit C. I've also been taking

adrenal support (120 mg rhodiola, 50 mg holy basil, and a synergistic blend of

ashwaganda) I've been on 42.5 HC for two months now (10, 10, 7.5, 7.5, 5,

2.5)-- I tried 35 (like I know is " normal " for a female) but it doesn't seem to

sustain me. I still need to stress dose frequently for evening meetings, that

are a regular thing for me.

Here are my cortisol labs from Nov 3, if you have some counsel on whether I

should shift how I am dosing currently (I've also posted the cortisol lab on the

adrenal site, so please ignore if this isn't appropriate, but I thought it might

be good to have all results together:

0.44 (0.27-1.18 )

0.14 (0.10-0.41)

0.06 (0.0500.27)

0.03 (0.03-0.14)

Thanks much,

Jeanne
