Re: My lab results..please help

Ok Val so I got my bloodwork back from the endo. Her exact words are " Increase

Armour

to 75mg per day, other hormones look good. "

I am currently on 1 grain of Armour. So my question is, where do I go from here

with

adrenal support? And should I still do it before I up the thyroid. And will that

small of an

increase get my thyroid up enough? There were also a bunch more tests she ran on

blood,

etc if there is anything else you think you would like me to post let me know

I'll see if she

did it. I am doubting she will do the ACTH stim test at all. Also one question

about

Geritol with Ferrex. I just bought some and others have said they take a whole

capful per

day. Each dose is only 18mg so should I just take 1 capful for the 36mg, or take

my other

iron supplement on top of it to make my total intake as close to 200mg a day as

possible. I

thought 200mg/day was the dosage to raise ferritin. Sorry this is so long, I am

feeling lost

right about now. Thanks in advance for your help. I really appreciate it.

TSH 2.27 uIU/mL (.35-5.50)

T4 Free .84 ng/dL (.61-1.76)

Triiodothyronine (is this free T3?) 2.7 pg/mL (2.3-4.2)

Ferritin 30 ng/mL (10-291)

Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) Ab 253 IU/mL 0-34

Cortisol 8.9 ug/dl (3.1-22.4)

Testosterone, serum 59 ng/dl 14-76

Estradiol 177 pg/mL

I would suggest you at least start Isocort before raising the Armoru. I

am not sure abotu dosing the Iron.. Missy on the NTH main list is the

best for that info! NO that little raise of Armoiru will not correct

your deficient state but maybe she is just goign very slowly due to your

depleted cortisol state.

I don't think she thinks my cortisol is deficient at all. So isocort should be

enough to

supplement and raise my current cortisol levels?

Thanks for your input.
