If I was in your situation, I would want to improve thyroid function and bring down your TSH (your pituitary is working hard to make thyroid hormone). I would also want to improve your iron since oxygen is not being optimally carried throughout your body which causes widespread problems over time.

thanks for this! I agree with you, BUT
The functional MD says thyroid hormone will disrupt my currently normal/healthy working thyroid, as does the thyroid expert who is pretty experienced. However I am surprised Dr seems so sure my symptoms are from low iron, especially as it is steadily improving, so I am onto that and have been for months. Funct MD suggested doubling my iron bisglycinate supplement daily dose. It is the only supplement I can tolerate, cannot even tolerate infusions, I have a reaction.
