Hi All, Here are my new blood results-I am hoping someone will have a look and help me with any advice. All these labs are done fasting except water, in the morning, no iron for 7 days before, no NDT before the draw.
I am Hypothyroid and have been for a year now. I have been on Armour Thyroid since last July. I currently take 1&1/2 grains per day in two doses-1 grain first thing in the morning (around 8-ish) and then ½ grain at about 2pm. If I go up to 2 grains I feel a bit Hyper-y. I am better than I was a few months ago. I still suffer from fatigue, unrefreshing sleep, cold, shortness of breath on exertion, brain fog, poor memory, dizziness if overtired, frequent sore throat/swollen glands, headaches/migraines, sore muscles/joints/tender points, irritability. A Rheumatologist has diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia and the symptoms around this seem to be increasing. I have been using Hydrocortisone Cream for low cortisol but am currently off it to prepare for a new Saliva Test for Adrenals.
My Iron results are-
Serum Ferritin-102.8 (10-200) Previously (10.9/24.4/48.6/48)

Calculated TIBC-73 (53-95) Previously (80/78)
Transferrin Saturation-26% (19-43) Previously (20%/19%)
I am currently taking 5 ml Ferrous Fumerate-45mg/2x Solgar Gentle Iron-20mg-1000mg Vit C....twice per day-total iron170 mg. I take it away from Thyroid meds and other supplements.
My hormone results-
Total testosterone-less 0.4 nmol (0.0-1.6)
Progesterone-48.7 nmol (5.3-86)
Oestradiol-396pmol (161-774)
I am 54 and still have regular periods, although I have had some spotting between the last ones. These are the first blood hormone levels that I have had done-Blood taken on day 21 of cycle (Luteal phase ranges).
