Reposting follow up question(buried thread)...question about ferritin and T3

[Guest guest]

I'm the one who is feeling absolutely exhausted since starting T3. I'm now on

37.5 mcg. I have low ferritin(39) and am supplementing iron(200 mg). Also, I'm

increasing my HC, since you thought that my exhaustion could be adrenal related

and due to the low ferritin taxing my cortisol in order to push the T3 into the

cells(if I understood you correctly).

My question is, with my low ferritin, is my taking T3 of any benefit at this

time? Should I continue to try and raise it or stay put at the current dose? Or

could I even be making the RT3 situation worse?

My ratio of T3 to RT3 is 6.7 when last tested about 4 weeks ago. Iron saturation

was low(just) per lab ranges.

Apart from the exhaustion, my pulse rate is higher(80 as opposed to 60 ish), but

hands are still cold. Will start temp. taking at weekend, but wonder if you have

general answers to above.

Many thanks for all the great information. Whitmore.
