Hello, These are my Medichecks iron test results. My ferritin was 61 in January 25 (picked up on a thyroid test) and I have been supplementing with 3 Arrows iron to increase it. I stopped taking it 3 weeks before for this iron test. Also stopped B vits. My active B12 is at the high end of the range. I think my ferritin is still too low but am concerned about the high TS result.
Having done some research I think I have MTRFR gene mutation. I have CFS, allergies, asthma and other symptoms.
(I recently increased my ERFA on the advice of my functional Dr and it has helped : Recent Medichecks test compared to January:
T3 up from 3.7 to 5 (range3. 2-6.8)
T4 slightly lower 4.4 to 4.3 (range 12-22)
TSH lower 0.416 down from 0.752
(all tests done as advised here for NDT, biotin etc))
My questions are:
1.Should I be worried about the high TS result?
2.How do I increase Ferritin without potentially increasing TS and my iron levels, which are at the higher end?
3.Any advice on dealing with the MTHFR gene mutation would be welcome.
4. Would a more in depth iron test be worth it?
Thanks in advance.
