Too much Armour? - Other ideas? New Labs (bloodwork)

[Guest guest]

I am supplementing to increase the Ferratin (up form 26 last

time....still a ways to go).

My T4 is in the upper 1/3 of the range! I do feel ok as far as not

feeling hyper with my TSH low and T3 higher than the normal range.

My Cortisol is still too low though, a little better than before but

still needing improvement. I will continue to take Isocort and

discuss changing to hydrocortisone with the doc today.

My estrogen is still too high, presumably in response to having low

cortisol. I am also supplementing with I-3-C at night to try and

bring that down as well as omega 3 oils, and ground flax-seed in the

am. I am supplementing with bio-identical progesterone. The doc

previously mentioned using a higher dosage with me. I talked him

into a 3 mth trial of a lower dose. Maybe we should try the higher

dose for a few months to see).

Any thoughts on the numbers below? I have an appointment this

afternoon, but would appreciate any input you wise people have as so

much of this is still a mystery to me. I also know that jsut because

the numbers fall " in range " does not mean they are good. Thank you!
