Hello Elaine

I think you may well not be absorbing the thyroid hormone at the

cellular level due to the fact that your ferritin level is VERY low and this

should be supplemented with immediate effect by taking some form of elemental

iron such as Ferrous Glutamate or Ferrous Sulphate 200mgs, either twice or

three times daily, until your ferritin level starts to rise, and then reduce

the dose to 200mgs once daily (with food - and four hours away from thyroid

hormone replacement). Your blood results show that you are hypothyroid with TSH

of 4.7 (right at the top of the range) and free T4 of 13. For those who are not

taking thyroid hormone replacement, their free T4 should be just over the middle

of the reference range, so your fT4 level should be somewhere in the region of 17.

You should start natural thyroid extract by 30mgs only and stay

on that for around 7 days before increasing by another 30mgs. If you adverse

reactions, you should increase this again in 3 to 4 weeks by another 30mgs. You

may need to decrease your Erfa by 30mgs to see whether this helps you feel

better, but meanwhile, ask for your iron, transferrin saturation%, vitamin D3,

magnesium, folate, copper and zinc to be tested. If they try to tell you that

there is no association between these specific nutrients and low thyroid, have

ready a copy of the attached document to show them references to just some of

the research/studies that have been done to show that there is.

I would not change the DHEA just yet. You need to be taking DHEA

for quite some time before you start to see any specific changes, so please be

patient. Can you take your temperature at least 3 times a day according to Dr

Rind's Metabolic Temperature Graph http://www.drrind.com/therapies/metabolic-temperature-graph

It is VITAL that if you are suffering with systemic Candida,

that you get this properly diagnosed and properly treated. See all the information

in our FILES SECTION,(accessible from the Home Page of this forum) and open the

FOLDER entitled 'Candida'. Read all the information there.

Tell us exactly what you are doing to shift this problem Elaine? If you want to

get better, you have to be seriously aggressive in your endeavours.

Luv - Sheila
