Supplements given!

[Rose18]

Ferritin 35 (30 - 400)

Folate 2.1 (4.6 - 18.7)

Vitamin B12 205 (190 - 900)

Vitamin D total 28.8 (25 - 50 deficiency supplementation is indicated)

Iron tablets restarted after being stopped, investigations now underway as to why I am not absorbing any folic acid or B12 or vitamin D, given loading dose of 300,000iu vitamin D. Hope this sounds ok?

Thanks

Yes, it sounds good. Follow the advice and suggestions in reply to your previous thread regarding supplementing/cofactors etc.

Did you get an increase in dose of levo?

Don't forget to address the Hashi's and gut/absorption problems as advised previously.

[Rose18 in reply to SeasideSusie]

Thanks yes I did get an increase

So how much Levothyroxine are you now taking?

Pleased you are now getting better treatment

Seriously look at trying strictly gluten free diet too. Very many of us find it essential to help heal gut

Getting Levo dose high enough to bring TSH down to around one and FT4 towards top of range and FT3 at least half way in range

Plus vitamin supplement to bring levels up.

Plus gluten free diet

If, after say 6 months your FT3 remains low in range, you may then be ready to consider if you need addition of small dose of T3
