Guest guest Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 If you are not feeling well, you have a problem. I would suggest that you ask to try the Armour. wrote: You know, I didn't know my thinning hair could be from low ferritin! I'll keep up with my supplements then, and keep an eye on things. It looked to me too that I was a little high on the T4, but I wasn't sure about the T3. I take only $ynthroid. Dr. Hartig has not yet given me an Rx for Armour. When I went to see her a few months, and a few blood draws, ago...my TSH was bouncing all over the place. Too much medication and too low TSH on .100 Synthroid, and then too little medication and too high TSH on .88. My previous doc kept readjusting my medication each time and I was going crazy with symptoms. For some reason, my blood work has remained steady thru two blood draws and I guess Dr. H doesn't want to mess with anything until we have a problem.My complaint...always the same. Still not feeling well. Guess I'll keep pluggin' away. Thanks for your reply! If you think of anything else...let me know!(Houston)>> My ferritin is at 82, and The Doc wants me to increase my iron slightly. He said he would like to see it at about 115 or mid-range. When my ferritin was at 35, I was still losing hair.> > You might need a little more T3 and possibly a little less T4. Your Free T3 is in the lower half of its range. Most of us need it somewhere in the upper half. What you may need is highly individual.> > What dose of which meds are you on?> > Did you take your meds before the blood draw? How long?
