Guest guest Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Here are my latest labs, can someone please advise me as to what looks good, what doesn't and if so how to fix? TSH <0.01 (0.35 - 5.50 mIu/L) fT4 9.0 (9.0 - 25.0 pmol/L) fT3 11.8 (3.5 - 6.5 pmol/L) my fT4 was 8.4 4 weeks ago, why has this gone up but so has my fT3 (was 9.3) I am week 13 SRt3 120mcg per day. My doc is a bit concerned by the high fT3, is it too high or should it be higher? Vit D 174 (60 - 160 nmol/L) B12 565 (>180 pmol/L) RBC Folate 1473 (>400 nmol/L) Sodium 140 (135 - 145) Potassium 3.9 (3.7 - 5.3) Is my potassium OK or too low? What about sodium? Iron 14.0 (9.0 - 26.0) Transferrin 2.45 (2.10 - 3.80) Saturation 23% (13 - 51%) Ferritin 83 My ferritin is up from 50 in Feb and 9 in May 2009, but my saturation is only 23%. Why is this and what can i do to improve this. Thanks for advice. Kat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Your IRON is too lwo which si causing the T3 to POOL in your blod making it look too high., Your body knows how hypo you are inthe cells so it si stil making T4 inspite of this. You need ot riase iron and reduce T3 until you get the iron higher. There is no point in keeping the high blood levels of T3 when oyur body cannot utilize ti this only creates more adrenal stress. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://faqhelp.webs.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ http://artisticgrooming.net/ > Here are my latest labs, can someone please advise me as to what looks good, what doesn't and if so how to fix? > > TSH<0.01 (0.35 - 5.50 mIu/L) > fT4 9.0 (9.0 - 25.0 pmol/L) > fT3 11.8 (3.5 - 6.5 pmol/L) > > my fT4 was 8.4 4 weeks ago, why has this gone up but so has my fT3 (was 9.3) I am week 13 SRt3 120mcg per day.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Thanks Val. Now i am a bit confused, my ferritin is good right? So what should my iron be? I have been supplementing about 150mg iron per day, should I keep going with that amount. What should i drop my T3 down to and for how long? Lastly, are my potassium and sodium levels OK? > > Here are my latest labs, can someone please advise me as to what looks good, what doesn't and if so how to fix? > > > > TSH<0.01 (0.35 - 5.50 mIu/L) > > fT4 9.0 (9.0 - 25.0 pmol/L) > > fT3 11.8 (3.5 - 6.5 pmol/L) > > > > my fT4 was 8.4 4 weeks ago, why has this gone up but so has my fT3 (was 9.3) I am week 13 SRt3 120mcg per day.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Val, so I just have to keep going with the iron supplements to get the saturation up to 35%? You mentioned that i should lower T3, how much should i lower, I dropped from 120mcg SRt3 to 100mcg today. Should I go lower than that - how will I know if it is too low? Thanks for your invaluable advice as always.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 One last thing, my pulse in the last few weeks has been racing a lot during the day sometimes up to 112 (normally it is around 80). I am very aware of my heart beating and it is really beginning to distress me, sometimes I wake up with it. I have added salt and that doesn't seemed to have helped. What could be causing this and how do i stop it? > >> > >>> Iron 14.0 (9.0 - 26.0) > >>> > >>>> > Transferrin 2.45 (2.10 - 3.80) > >>>> > Saturation 23% (13 - 51%) > >>>> > Ferritin 83 > >>>> > >>> > >> > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------ > > > > We are not medical professionals here, just patients sharing our experiences.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Low T3 causes slow pulse but pounding and irregular pulse can be form lwo iron or lwo T3. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://faqhelp.webs.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ http://artisticgrooming.net/ > One last thing, my pulse in the last few weeks has been racing a lot during the day sometimes up to 112 (normally it is around 80).
