IRON RESULTS VIEWS PLEASE

0 Replies

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.
