HI friends!
I usually reply to posts... but I just wanted to share what happened at my docs appointment. Im really excited!
My last blood work results came back and we reviewed them during my appointment today. These were the best numbers that I have EVER had... and I have been seeing her for quite awhile now.
I have been extremely Anemic, which I think caused other things to go "out of whack" so to speak. I had alot "wrong" --seemed like everything she tested...came back "out of range."
So the wonderful news is that almost everything is where it should be!
* Iron- saturation %- Ferritin...ALL good-- Anemia resolved. ( WAS very anemic) but this is something I have to keep on top of for sure. ESPECIALLY women.
* Cortisol levels... fine> WAS at the very bottom - Adrenals less stressed.
* Vit B 12- Little low but EASILY fixed
* Organs - All working VERY well
*Vit D - GOOD -- but I was scraping the bottom ( I think no more than10?) I take 2,000 to 4,000 IU daily - for good measure - but I think its best to get it the natural way. Best if you can get... *at least* 15 mins...2 x wk ( at least) AND to save your face ( I dont sunbathe or let the sun on my face anyway- makes skin leathery looking- IMO) she said arm and leg exposure (shorts) will do just fine. * I think most people have read about Vit D etc...so no need to go into anymore*
Thyroid Levels T3 / T4 .... Much better... ( she said I still need to increase the dose ( so I will) still have a little room to go with that, BUT the numbers have NEVER looked this good! And I FEEL IT! Its rare to feel something change and be this noticeable... I like it.. :)
I was put on one type of Thyroid early on and it didnt do diddly squat. I am now on a different type and I have responded to it very well.
DHEA level ...little low ... (I don't take this) but will address this later when Thyroid improves even more.
Glucose ... fine
White cell count.. fine...

Thank you for reading........I had a good day and wanted to share... I hope its been good for you all as well....
I hope you are all able to have **thorough** blood work done-- its SO important.

Thanks,

My dr has me on 1,000 of vitmen d and mine was around 10... probly better to keep up on 4,000 though as higher vitmen D normal lessens pain to.
Then if outside more you got to becareful as i have heard u can overdoes on Vitmen D. You probly get blood work once month though and if so just make sure keps getting checks.
