Thanks Val. question:

It is best to get the full iron panel.

ok.

1. is econolabs the cheapest? and what exactly are the names in the full iron

panel? (i have looked at so many, and some have different names and things thAT

others don't, so i want to make sure i get the right one!

2. ferritin 15 range 10-291

so is this still obvious i have way too low of ferritin and will need to

supplement? also, i am on 25 of cynomel t3 a day, i tried going up and couldn't

tolerate it. so i stayed at 25 until i got ferritin and next cortisol labs.

3. do i need to wait until i get full iron panel to start on elemental iron?

4. how much elemental iron suggest for this number of 15? i know it's best to

get up to 50-70, and have read suggestion to take between 100-200mg a day...

5. magnesium 2.4 range 1.3-2.7

at 2.4 my magnesium is looking good right??? i take 800 mg a day, started around

3 weeks ago. hopefully the mag. results are some GOOD news!!! finally!!!

thank you, i am learning SO MUCH by reading this forum and being a part of it

and soon my posts will be SHORT!

panel? (i have looked at so many, and some have different names and things thAT

others don't, so i want to make sure i get the right one! Just sent you the

right page yes they are the cheapest.,

2. ferritin 15 range 10-291

supplement? also, i am on 25 of cynomel t3 a day, i tried going up and couldn't

tolerate it. so i stayed at 25 until i got ferritin and next cortisol labs.

A) yes oyu need ir9on but I owuld gte the panel done as oyu need to stop supps

for at least 5 days to get accurate testign anyway so may as well get the

testing first.

3. do i need to wait until i get full iron panel to start on elemental iron?

A) Yes I would.

4. how much elemental iron suggest for this number of 15? i know it's best to

get up to 50-70, and have read suggestion to take between 100-200mg a day...

A) if the rest of your panel matches thta ferritin eith er iron IV's or 200mg

elemental iron

5. magnesium 2.4 range 1.3-2.7

at 2.4 my magnesium is looking good right??? i take 800 mg a day, started around

3 weeks ago. hopefully the mag. results are some GOOD news!!! finally!!!

I would suspect with ferritin that lwo you are just gettign anxiety

and adrenal stress fom the T3, I would cut ti down to half that in two

doses until you can get ferritin a bit higher.

twice if you think it's best.

this is very exciting finally being able to properly address these things with

real lab numbers and everything!
