Re: feeling better on iron supplements

[Guest guest]

i've never had much luck w/ supplements i hate to say. i've had iron infusions

through my

doc and that worked, but i don't seem to hold onto iron.

i've tried chelated, ferrous fumarate and gluconate, as well as floradix, a

liquid

i combine it w. C and avoid things that interfere w/ absorption

been tested repeatedly for all types of anemia and so far all i've got is garden

variety anemia

i'd LOVE ideas or input. feel like i've exhausted all possibilities. my hct and

hgb are still high

from my last infusion, but my ferritin has dropped by 2/3 in 6 months. I'm

worried, but my

doc says it's ok. I think he's just tired of me.

I'm hoping it will help to get my adrenals and thyroid more stable....

Low thyroid can cause Ferritin to drop horribly. If it wer me I would

get it as high as you can with injections then immediately go on a binge

to raise thyroi dto proper levels whiel it si still high enough for the

thyroid to work properly.

this explains a lot, val. thanks. my doc doesn't want to do any more infusions

cos he thinks

my HCT is ok -- 35 ( 37.-47.) I don't like that it's low, but he thinks that's

fine even with the

dropping ferritin.

right now my ferritin is 41 (11-307).

my temps are stable w/ the HC cream and I'm on day 5 of 15 mg Armour. Dosing

the salt as

well, and taking a little licorice. other supplements as well as iron, lots of

B, C, selenium,

tyrosine etc

do you think i'm on the right track or doing more harm than good?

I f you are not having any bad symptoms from the thyrod I would move the

dosin gupo as fast as you can tolerate, and make certin you are taking

at least 200mg daily of elemental iron. Theat should at least keep it

from falling anymore while you get the thyroid to a decentfdose.
