I would get a full iron panel. I suspect it may stil be a bit low and

thus not utilizing the extra T3 better adn she does need mor from these

labs.

in 2 weeks and i will get new blood work then....

currently she is on melatonin at bedtime plus lots of other supps like

b complex zinc etc..and she takes...1 grain NT, plus...10, 10, 10, 5 of

T3

on this regime her basal temps are good ...but we would like to raise

her FT3 up some but when she tries to add 5 mcg of T3 at bedtime dose

her temps fall....so wondering if we should be doing more to support

her cortisol or do you think her FT3 is fine as is....

Ferritin 87

FT3 3.9 (2.3-4.2)

FT4 0.44 (0.73-1.95)

TSH <0.1

RT3 127 (90-350)

last saliva cortisol... this was prior to starting melatonin and

raising ferritin and b12 (insurance wont pay for another for 6 months)

12.6 (7-10)

12.0 (3.0-5.0)

1.8 (2.0-4.0_

1.7 (<1.5)
