Good Afternoon, Would advise ne on my results i see my ferritin has dropped from 112 3 months ago my folate was 14.6 range 2.5-9999.0 on 100mcg Levo

Its important for us to know how you feel.

Free T4 (fT4) 13.9 pmol/L (7.9 - 16) 74.1%

Free T3 (fT3) 5.2 pmol/L (3.1 - 6) 72.4%

You certainly seems to convert well.

For your ferritin be sure to include plenty of iron rich foods such as chicken livers, pate, red meat.

What supplements are you taking?

NoB12 or D3 result.

[Jaydee1507 Administrator in reply to Jaydee1507]

Your conversion seems to have increased. Have you added T3?

These are the results you had when you first came here 5 months ago.

FT4: 14.3 pmol/l (Range 7.9 - 16)

Ft4 79.01% through range

FT3: 5 pmol/l (Range 3.8 - 6)

Ft3 only 54.55% through range

Have you tried a strictly gluten free diet?

Are you getting B12 jabs frequently enough?

[Nellie2016 in reply to Jaydee1507]

No T3 added. Jyst 100 Levo at night i do my best going gluten free i know it has to be all gluten free funny you saying that i hvt been doing my b12 as regular as i was so started it today to do once a week ive really has a lot of stress i do have t3 here now but not sure i should change meds

[Jaydee1507 Administrator in reply to Nellie2016]

Well at the moment your conversion rate looks good. Thats not to say that a tiny bit more Levo might help but if you've changed something with your B12 (less frequently) then that might just be enough to perk you up if you go back to the frequency you were at before. See if that helps.

I'm sorry you've had a lot of stress. Its at times like that that we are really tested and its harder to keep on top of supplements, levo etc Try and focus on yourself a little more and fingers crossed the extra B12 shots will do the trick.
