Hi,

I guess I did have this. I just went and rechecked my Kaiser records. These are

from about May, I believe.

TOTAL IRON BINDING CAPACITY 345 228-428 ug/dL

IRON 85 35-160 ug/dL

TOTAL IRON BINDING CAPACITY, UNSATURATED 260 92-365 ug/dL

TRANSFERRIN % SATURATION 25 15-55 %

What do you think? I have no idea, other than it all looks in range. But from

what I've read, does having high reverse T3 make it hard for your body to hold

on to iron?

Thanks again for any input.

oh poo, one more quick question. Should I worry that the doc. called in the

generic for cytomel, levoxy something or another? She thought it would be less

expensive, since insurance won't cover. Is it better to start on the generic

or the real stuff?

Thanks again....

We are looking for % saturation to be 35% to 45%

Thanks Nick! That helps a lot. I will continue taking the iron. I'm supposed

to be picking up my first prescription for the cytomel this next week, but the

Kaiser guys keep trying to give me the generic. Should I be worried about that

or just go for it? I'd had my doctor specifically ask for the brand name, but

Kaiser filled it generic. I called to ask them to order the real thing, so,

they canceled the generic and then, to my utter amazement, reordered the

generic.

Thanks!
