ferritin levels and T3 update..

just wanted to share my latest results..previously ferritin was 24 that was early May..started with ferrous fumarate and then 3 arrows also removed gluten. I didn’t take the 3 arrows for 2 days before this test to see if my level dropped as it was 84 the week before.

i had to wait for a retest as my 1st was not a good sample but it did tell me my ferritin at that point was 84 so I started taking t3 splitting 10mg and taking it twice a day..I have now upped it to 10mg twice a day..

I had some leg pain last week more so on day 2 but that’s okay.

I’ve stopped the ferrous fumarate and just taking the 3 arrows 2 tablets a day..and think I’ll just take it every other day.

Any advice on when to take T3 I usually take 10mg 1st thing and wait minimum of 1 hour before breakfast etc..

many thanks
