Guest guest Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 On the advice of Dr P I am trying the T3 only regime but am really struggling. I got up to 100mcg and felt really dreadful, even more exhausted, muscle/joint pain and felt very hot. Dr P suggested I could be toxic and reduced to 50mcg daily. More recently he suggested increasing to 75mcg daily. I feel really dreadful, so, so tired and pain in muscles, can hardly get through the day. I have read that Iron could be causing a resistance but Dr P suggested that I only take 3 x Spatone per week. I am enclosing my blood test results and wondered what you think. I am currently taking: 75mcg Cytomel, 4 x NAX, 1 x 30mg CQ10, 4000Vit C, 2 x Vit B12, am trying to take Magnesium but cannot tolerate it (Nutri), high dose of HRT Zumenon - 6mg daily and a digestive aid prescribed by my GP Omeprazole 20mg daily. My blood results are as follows:- Total T3 - 1.0 TSH: 0.02 Free T4: 2.0 25 hydroxy-Vit D3 - 66.6 25 hydroxy - Vit D2 - 2.0 Sodium (serum) - 140 Potassium (serum) 4.4 Urea (serum) 6.0 Creatinine - 68 Corrected calcium - 2.20 Phosphate (serum) 0.71 Protein - 69 Albumin - 43 Globulins - 26 Alkaline phosphatase - 69 Total bilirubin - 3 ALT - 19 serum magnesium - 0.74 serum vit B12 - 537 Serum ferritin - 108 serum folate - 20.0 estimated glomerular filtration rate 83 total iron binding capacity - 72.8 serum iron - 17.8 iron saturation - 24.5 serum zinc - 8.7 Can anyone please let me know what they think of these results.
