Syst3mErr0r,

Folic acid in serum is usually caused folate. Level is good.

B12 is good but may be high because you were supplementing. What was B12 before you were injecting?

Its generally recommended ferritin should be >70-100 and optimal is halfway through range. You can raise ferritin by supplementing iron. Take each tablet with 1,000mg vitamin C to aid absorption and minimise constipation. Take iron 4 hours away from thyroid medication. Iron isn't deficient so retest ferritin and iron 4 months after supplementing.

Calcium is high in range. Have you been supplementing?

Vitamin D is suboptimal. 50-60ng/ml is optimal. I would supplement 5,000iu daily for 3 months and retest in Mar/April. Take vitamin D 4 hours away from thyroid medication. Hold off supplementing vitD if calcium is high naturally as vitD increases calcium levels.

Clutter,

Thank you for reply.

i didn't test B12 before injection but my daily intake was 120mcg, anyway i'v stopped B12 Injection.

i didn't supplementing with calcium before, but i was taking 10.000iu VitD daily for 2 Months then lower it to 5.000iu daily , and my calcium daily intake is 1000mg.

Thanks.

Syst3mErr0r,

So you are supplementing 1,000mg calcium which is why your calcium is high. You should never supplement calcium unless it is deficient. I would stop supplementing 1,000mg calcium and continue supplementing 5,000iu D3.

Clutter,

i don't supplementing with calcium but my diet contain 1,000mg of calcium from daily foods.

[Clutter in reply to guavas]

Syst3mError,

Dietary calcium is not the same as supplementing calcium. I would retest calcium in a few weeks to see whether it is still within range. If it goes over range stop supplementing vitD and see your GP.

Clutter,

okay i will retest calcium after 3 weeks , it's maybe goes over range because i lower my activity because T3 depletion or not ?

[Clutter in reply to guavas]

Syst3mErr0r,

I'd leave it a little longer, say 6 weeks. I very much doubt T3 depletion has any effect on calcium levels.

[guavas in reply to Clutter]

Okay i will test it after 6 weeks,

i mean my activity level is low because i'm still under-medicated and i don't need to my T3 level drop , that's all. , i've read that In some cases of lack of activity for a long time due to burns, for example, or anything else may cause a high range of calcium level.

[Clutter in reply to guavas]

Syst3mErr0r,

There's no problem while it remains within range but if it goes over range you need it investigated. I don't believe it's anything to do with lack of activity. It could be due to parathyroid glands or kidneys.
