Re: Labs/BUMP / suggest getting an iron panel

[Guest guest]

I'm with Diane, I think an iron panel might provide useful information.

My own ferritin was 80, BUT...an iron panel showed a % saturation of only 22.

The % saturation has to be 35-45 for best thyroid function. My iron was too low

despite a reasonably high ferritin result.

Ferritin can be falsely elevated by inflammation, infection or other reasons.

That's exactly what happened to me. That's why an iron panel is suggested.

Yes, I am going to go to a local lab tomorrow or Friday and have the test done.

My last test back in June showed a saturation of 43. Iron total was 121 (40-160)

binding capacity was 281 (250-450) Ferritin 78.

thanks Margery

Yeah, what's weird is my ferritin DROPPED when my sat and ITBC went up. So maybe

I had some inflammation even though the lab inflammation markers didn't show it.

Or maybe I had an infection somewhere previously. But Val said based on the sat

and TIBC, I needed to stop supps for a month and retest.

She also told me of a guy whose ferritin was 300 and it went down to 40 after

being on HC! His low cortisol was causing inflammation and a falsely elevated

ferritin.

Faith, I wish I could be more help. Your iron is great! If T3 intolerance

isn't low iron, it's most often from adrenal issues.

The folks over at the adrenals group know a lot more about adrenals than I do.

Here's the link:

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/

I think they are closed for a break but are re-opening soon.

Here are some other links which I hope will be useful:

I don't know if you graph temps to check adrenal function, here's the link:

http://www.drrind.com/therapies/metabolic-temperature-graph

Here's Moderator Nick's adrenals page:

We don't rely exclusively on the ferritin test anymore, but I believe it still

has it's uses. I'd double-check a HIGH ferritin with an iron panel. But a LOW

ferritin really IS low. We've had people posting ferritins like 8 and 9...that

IS low iron.

And I NEVER have high lab inflammation markers, despite having active

inflammation in several locations. Those inflammation blood tests I consider

unreliable or at least incomplete. I can SEE the inflammation on an endoscopy

(I have photos! LOL!), but the blood test lab inflammation markers are always

just fine.

That's interesting, Margery. I wonder if I had inflammation and that's why my

ferritin dropped. But it dropped to 40 something. Val didn't seem to think it

was a problem given the rest of my iron panel.

I really think now I have gone low iron since I stopped all supps, hence the

recent anxiety. I feel super hypo now. I restarted iron yesterday after the labs

and the anxiety seems gone, but hypo remains (VERY tired, lethargic,

unmotivated, depressed) and temps have dropped since I lowered my t3, so I'm

going back to what I was on and see what happens. Will I ever get this right?

I know you had low iron. Did that cause massive anxiety? Hopefully that is all

this is and I can quickly correct it with supps.

Thanks,

Kathleen

Oh yes, trying to raise T3 while my iron was too low caused anxiety, all right.

It is remarkable now that I've gotten my iron up with IVs, I'm now taking twice

as much T3, yet that anxiety hasn't reared it's ugly head. It seems clear it

was the low iron x T3 interaction that caused the anxiety problem.

If I remember correctly, Val's said she's seen two most common reactions (while

raising T3 when iron is too low): either the anxiety, or the T3 just doesn't

appear to be working at all.

Well, I just got my iron panel back today and I'm not low in iron. TIBC was

near bottom of range and % sat was slightly over. Unfortunately, I did eat red

meat almost every day for the past several days before the test because I was

craving it so badly. So maybe the results are invalid, but at the very least

they would show I am definitely holding onto the iron I get from red meat

without supping. I should probably redo the test again, though, and fast red

meat this time as well as Val said if my iron didn't go down I needed to give

blood. She also said I wasn't toxic, though, because my TIBC wasn't below range.

Something else strange came up in my labs that could be causing my anxiety, but

I will start a new thread for it.

What was ferritin?

This is not universally agreed upon, but while eating red meat may throw off the

iron results a little, I doubt it throws them off a lot.

I'll find out ferritin tomorrow. She was reading them off fast as she was busy,

so I didn't catch it. I'll repost tomorrow with a new thread when I have all the

numbers and ranges. The sat was only slightly over, like 2%, so if eating red

meat only throws them off a little, maybe I'm okay or do you think I'm too high

then? I don't want iron poisoning! My serum was fine, wasn't high.

Margery, You have been a big help to me. I really wish the adrenal site was open

cause I really need them today. I am so fatigued. If I just get up and walk

around a little, my heart beats hard. I think I really need the Florinef and

will not get better till I get that. My temps have been going down the last two

days. I am adding in some extra HC today. But first I have to get my potassium

level up some.

Just wanted to thank you for all your help.

Faith

Glad to help. Wish I could be more useful to you, but if it's an aldosterone or

other adrenal issue, I am getting out of my depth.
