How sweet is the molasses? Has it helped your iron levels. Please send me those recipes privately as to not clog the board.

She said my ferritin of 18 was " normal " for pregnancy (even though I told her that I've been supplementing 200 mg/iron a day plus the red meat, molasses, and chlorophyll).

(she doesn't take insurance but I may submit her form to see if I'll be reimbursed), plus $270 for the lymes test and a slew of other labs (that hopefully my insurance will cover most of). I'm thinking now that once these results are in, if I am negative for most, the best way to go is by doing my own labs, having phone consults with Val, and going from there. She did not even want to do another RT3 test or ask me how long I've been on T3 this time around. I told her my heart palps were better the last few days since I lowered my T3 dose (thanks to Val's insight from my last labs that it was pooling due to low ferritin).> > I'm beginning to think that finding a good doctor is pretty close to impossible.

I thik the answer to your RT3 is the low iron and it si kept lwo by low

T3. But it is always good to be CERTAIN it is juts thyroid causing that

issue as bleed internally is always on my mind when I see these horrible

low ferritin levels. Usually it si just the low thyroid though.
