For the past month I've been really tired and my hair has been shedding.  My thyroid labs looked great.  I insisted my endo start me on Cytomel anyway, I needed to try something for the fatigue.  It helped for the first few days...then the exhaustion came back.  I went to see my GP to run other labs for me.  I found out my iron and ferritin levels are very low.  Explains it all!  I went to whole Foods after work today and bought some Floradix iron supplements.  I read really good reviews online for it.  I hope this does the trick.  I've actually heard that we can have low iron, so if anyone else has thyroid labs that look good, but are feeling hypo...have your ferritin levels checked.  I'm really glad I finally did!
