Never went off. I now take 65mg (elemental) twice a day. Do you think I should go back up to 3x daily? That would be a total of 195mg. I had these problems even when I was on the higher dose. I really think it is something else. What do you think of the t3 dose? Maybe raise that with the iron? I can also post cortisol results if that helps.

Your iron binding capacity is too high which means you need mroe iron, your % saturation shoudl be 35-45% so also too lwo, and the onyl thing that looks good is your ONE ferritin which is high which I suspect ois form inflammation.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Sorry if this is a duplicate. I never stopped taking iron. I only reduced my dosage from three 65mg a day to two. Do yo think I should go back up? I still had these symptoms on three doses a day which leads me to believe this is not iron related. How is my t3 schedule? Do you think I am on enough?
