[QUOTE="mcs, post: 222043, member: 12"] I always had low normal serum ferritin levels. Could low serum ferritin be a culprit in my elevated TSH as indicated in [URL='https://drhedberg.com/ferritin-hypothyroidism/']this[/URL] blog? [URL='https://app.box.com/s/v4hxg7xdq0jz30gjrvjze6oxu7hskk4n']My recent iron/ferritin labs[/URL]. But since T3 increases serum ferritin as is indicated in [URL='https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article-abstract/61/4/672/2675004?redirectedFrom=fulltext']this study[/URL], why wouldn't it be sufficient from taking NDT? I cannot tolerate any oral iron supplements whatsoever. They bind me up badly and I've tried all commercially-available forms - even formulas from overseas. Taking with ascorbic acid for better absorption doesn't help with the constipation. Oral iron administration is simply toxic to my gut. I have considered IV iron (i.e. Dextran) but it's a hassle and has to be administered in a clinic setting. I also tried transdermal iron patches but observed no improvement in serum ferritin as is supported by [URL='https://journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/ijsnem/30/3/article-p185.xml']this[/URL] study. Another conundrum. [/QUOTE]
