New member - testing questions

[Guest guest]

Hi Val and Nick,

I have had ferritin and Rt3 and Ft3 tested and reviewed those by phone with Val.

Ferritin was 37 so I am on 150 mg of Iron taken with Vitamin C. My rt3/ft3 was

borderline according to Val.

It's been 3 weeks on iron and I feel my mental symptoms have cleared a bit but I

have felt horrible otherwise so I have started switching from just .5 grain of

compounded t4/t3 (I can't tolerate any more than that) to just around 6.25 mcg

of cytomel divided to once in the morning and once at lunch (around 3 and 3). I

have done so so the last 48 hours with a few detox symptoms. When I take just

6.25 in the morning - I have adrenaline symptoms and then crash.

When I take any extra licorice or take the isocort - I get horrible revved up

anxious feelings. I currently take around 20 mg pregnenolone early day and 1

tablet of a licorice/ashwaganda formula.

I will have temps to report in a few days - my job makes it difficult for me to

take my temp regularly.

I would love comments on the above and also - what other tests can I do? b12?

celiac? cortisol? (my cortisol has always been low in the past - morning

especially but normal at night)

I'd like to rule other things.

Btw - I am a 32 year old female - 125 lb.

THANKS!!!
