[QUOTE="JKc94, post: 103014, member: 18039"] It is actually 125mg every 10 days (mistyped). Likely still too low, but with all I have had going on lately, I haven't been as motivated to keep up with schedule. Since the hematologist mentioned the possibility of polycthemia secondary to TRT, I also haven't wanted to take supplemental iron and cause my Hgb and Hct to get high. I know my ferritin has got to come up. My last Thyroid panel on 11/27/17 was: T3 uptake 33 (22-35%), T4 total 6.9 (4.5-12 mcg/dl), Free T4 2.3 (1.4-3.8), TSH 1.35 (0.40-4.50 mIU/L) Regarding the slow release elemental iron, you are suggesting that over the Integra iron prescribed by the neurologist? I think Integra is 125mg elemental iron with Vitamin C. I just want to be sure I understand your recommendation. Interestingly, I have thought that slow release (like Slow-FE) might be better tolerated anyway. Thanks for the reply. [/QUOTE]
