Oh and ive taken armour but it helps in sine ways but i get very anxious and makes other symptoms worse ... x
Just want to have energy back have two year old and want to do more and not struggle being ill ;/ i cant work out either wipes me out makes me like i got the flu
Can you please post the lab reference ranges for your results? Ranges are the figures which are usually in brackets after the results. Oh, and what dose thyroid medication are you taking?
Are you taking thyroid medication? TSH is low-normal, FT4 is below range and FT3 close to bottom of range.
VitD is insufficient. I would supplement 5,000iu D3 daily for 8 weeks then reduce to 5,000iu alternate days and retest in August. If you are taking thyroid medication take vitD 4 hours away from it and with the fattiest meal of the day.
Ferritin 43 is suboptimal. Ferritin is optimal >100 through to half way in range. You can raise ferritin by supplementing iron which should be taken with 1,000mcg vitamin C to aid absorption and minimise constipation. Iron should be taken 4 hours away from thyroid meds.
Unless you have symptoms of B12 deficiency you probably don't need to supplement B12.
You aren't taking enough Armour. You should increase dose in 1/2 grain increments until you are taking 2 grains. Hold at 2 grains for 6-8 weeks and retest before increasing further.
Ferrous Fumarate 210mg is a good iron brand. Vitamin D3 softgel capsules are good for absorption.
sometimes if you have high cortisol.....it will show up with ndt meds...also deficiencies will show up...like iron d3 etc....I agree take 5000 d3 with k2 in it for 8 weeks daily , and if you take the meth form of b12 and take a multi or thyroid support supplement with folate instead of folic acid may help...I like pure encapsulations thyroid support...but they are many others....I just got dizzy too from estrogen dominance which estrogen also suppresses the thyroid and my test were like yours on 1.5 grains of nature throid......your thyroid must have iodine zinc and selenium to work even if you are taking thyroid meds......they are many other things that can support it and you must have good high normal levels of iron, b12, d3,...so taking a b complex with your b12 is a must as well since b vitamins work best together.... YOU WILL HAVE FATIGUE WITH LOW FT4 FT3 AND LOW IRON AD LOWISH B12 AND LOWISH D3.... are you taking a good grade multi...as well...
I get very dizzy like goinh to faint and im on my oen with two year old.
I do have symptoms low b12 my right side of face amd neck go into spasm making me look like i have faical pulsy .... and i get confused nausea dizzy ...
I have done 23 and me and went on amy yasko site as i have positive c677t double gene and some bad ones and thats stressing me out as she said i need to balance lithium due to other genes as b12 will make it low and i will need eatrogen and progesterone and something anout gaba ... so many supplements its a joke...
Then i have sibo badly apparently i have to do this no carb diet which isnt possible with teo year old . But a doctor i saw who specialised in thyroid said low thyrood will cause bugs in belly!!! As not at right temperature...so maybe sibo will go when thyroid is fixed but nhs saying sibo causing thyroid aaaaaggghhhhh but family have oiw thyroid so cAnt all have sibo mine did spiral after lots antibiotics...
Maybe if i get vit d up i do have some but doesnt have k2 and i have some iorn but its the spatone...
Thankyou i just want to know where to start and exactly what to do its so confusing and stressful 😞 Xx
