Ariela,

Do you feel better with higher ferritin levels than before, or at least after iron ivs?

Thanks............Joan

Hi Val. I am on week 10 of t3 only. Taking 75 mcg t3 a day and 35 mg HC. Would love your opinion on my labs I did a couple of days ago. My main concern these days is constant high pulse, running 100-110 all day long. So. here it goes:T4 FREE 0.2 (0.8-1.9) T3 TOTAL 374 (72-170) *the lab does only total and not free t3TSH 0.000 (0.5-4.7) * CRAZY, ISN'T IT?If my GP would have seen these he would have kicked me out of his clinic!I had 5 iron IV. Check these out:Ferritin 357 (9-120)iron 160 (37 170)transferrin 209 (200-360)I guess no more IV for now, ah?sodium 141 (133-145)pottasium 4.1 (3.3-5.1)calcium 10.5 (8.5-10.5)From these I am guessing my high pulse is probobly not because sodium but because too high t3, no?All there is to do now is just to wait for the clearence miracle to happen, right?Thank

youAriela
