Those labs were drawn before I found out that my iron was low. I had falsely

elevated ferritin too from inflammation in my neck/spine. But I've since raised

my iron, so that should no longer be an issue. And my chiropractor thinks we're

getting close to fixing up my spine issues, although they're not gone yet.

That's one reason I was thinking of running new labs - to see if my TSH has come

up any. But I doubt my FT3 is much different from such a small dose change.

Unless resistance can affect FT3 levels too? I'd just rather not spend $90 on

new thyroid labs if they're not gonna help.

Good to know I'm not the only one who can't achieve those temps A new cycle

just began, so I'll let ya'll know what my " new " averages are in a few weeks to

see if there's any cause for concern or not. But if I keep feeling like this, I

won't care what my temps are! lol

Another thing I did a few weeks back was stopped taking all non-essential

supplements and I'm slowly adding one or two back in at a time to see if any of

them make me feel worse. I've been taking so many for so long that I don't know

what's doing what anymore. I'll be sure to report any odd findings.
