I'm glad that your symptoms improved. I'm sure that your quality of life must have improved. My TSH should optimally be 0.1-0.5. My TSH is 1.22, Iron is 50, Iron binding capacity 257 and % saturation is 19, Ferritin 134. I'm not taking iron supplements, it wasn't recommended. When I asked what I could do to increase % saturation I was told to increase my protein intake and eat with vitamin C foods as well as don't combine calcium and protein. Taking vitamin C with protein and avoiding calcium with protein was new information for me and I appreciate it. I wish this information would have been offered without me having to ask what I could do instead of MD responding to my normal Ferritin level only. I'm learning to advocate for myself and encourage everyone else to do the same. I'll look into the Polysaccharide Iron Complex Ferrex, though I know Iron interferes with the absorption of Synthoroid and Armour medication. Thank you for your response.
