New labs and wonder if I need to lower my T3 dose

[Guest guest]

I've some new labs drawn this morning and would like some feedback on adjusting

my T3 dosage. Also if there is anything to be concerned about with the glucose

labs.

The only concern about these thyroid labs is that 2 days ago I adjusted my HC

dose down from 7.5 mg to 5 mg, and my temps have been a little depressed so far

(still in transition it seems like). So maybe I could be pooling a little T3.

I did not take my morning dose of HC or T3 before these labs, so the prior T3

dose was the night before at bedtime.

5/7/2010:

serum iron 24.7 (4.1-29.5)

TIBC 58.2 (46.4-69.5)

% saturation 42.4

ferritin 334.70 (13-400) This was over 530 a month ago so is coming down very

nicely on its own. It became too high after IVs in March.

FT4 0.04 (0.93-1.71)

FT3 6.14 (2.02-4.43)

TSH 0.02 (0.27-4.20)

Comment: on 62.5 mg since late in March, prior to that was on 75 mcg. This TSH

is much less depressed than before, and my last FT3 on a higher dose of T3 was

4.6. So the IV iron in March has had a huge impact. My stable temps have

averaged 98.4 currently. Should I drop my T3 dose to 50 mcg or hold where I am

at?

Blood glucose (fasting) 5.51 (3.80-6.10)

A1C 4.5 (0.0-7.0)
