Re: So down today!! What else can I do???

[Guest guest]

You need to stop the thyroid. And MORE iron. At least 200mg elemental

iron a day or if oyu can find a doctor your levels warrant an Iron IV.

That lwo iron is not allowing the thyrodi into the cells and is also

causing tons of your symptoms along wiht the RT3 which I am certain

yours is through the roof blockign any remaining T3 form the receptors.

So, are you saying I need to stop the thyroid altogether? I have gone down from 2,5 to 1,5...

What I don't understand is that I was feeling a little better - until yesterday. How can it change so quickly??? Yesterday was not more stressful than the day before, I didn't eat anything that could have caused this, I didn't work out - nothing. Why do I crash????

Do you think I will feel better as soon as the iron is up?

I forgot to post these (I only started taking Rhodiola and Ashwagandha after the test):

Salivary Cortisol: 8.00am --- 13.6 (5.0-14.0)12.00pm -- 2.5* (3.0-8.0)4.00pm --- 2.6 (1.5-5.0)12.00am -- 0.3* (0.5-2.0) Salivary DHEA Sulphate: 8.00am --- 6.5* (9.0-24.3)12.00pm -- 4.0* (6.0-10.9)4.00pm --- 1.7* (4.5-8.0)12.00am -- 4.9 (2.3-5.0)

The HIGH blood levels of the thyrodi is not doing you any favors as whne

you eat some iron it will trickle too much in at once which stresses

your adnreals. This may well be why you are having ups and downs. One

day oyu may absorb a bit more iron wiht the foods you eat too. Especilly

if you find a 0lace to get an iron IV you need the thyroid levels DOWN

because you do not want thyroid storm from all dumping into the cells at

once.

Val, (or any of the moderators)

How could her iron be so low when her ferritin is normal? Does that mean that

ferritin doesn't really tell us if we are iron deficient?

thanks, Kate

It is so hot outside, and I am wearing baggy things to hide every single part of

my body. I am losing sooo much hair and my skin is bad.
