These temps indicate too high thyroid. I would drop it down a bit until you get

to average 98.6 MO NORE.

,

Are you taking actual Ferritin? Or 195 mg of some sort of iron? Has anyone here tried to raise Ferritin levels by actually taking Ferritin capsules? (I have seen one place where 5mg capsules are sold.)

Out of curiosity, how are you taking the cytomel—once or twice a day or several?

Thanks,

Val,

After starting 195 mgs. ferritin an few weeks ago, I have been

feeling almost " normal " . It has been 7 years since I felt this way.

I have one problem, though, a lot of pain in my joints... hands,

knees, elbows.. It actually hurts quite a bit and is slowing me

down. I thought it might be low estrogen, since I had lowered that,

but raised it back up a few days ago and the pain is still intense.

My current HC is 32.5 and cynomel is 68.75. I recently raised the

cynomel by 6.25 (1/4 pill)- 9 days ago. My avg. temps I recorded

since raising the cynomel have been: 98.8, 99, 98.6, 98.6. - With all

the holiday stuff going on, I haven't been taking the temps exactly

every 3 hrs. (sometimes more time elapsed and some of the temps are

averages of only 2 temp readings, if that matters.)

Hope you might have some answers.

Thanks,
