I would NOT order any vitamins until you know what your issue is. You really need to have a good idea of the problem before using any supplements.

From the doctor office, this is what I get from

Free T3 =
Free T4 =
TSH =
TPOab =
Cortisol =
Vit. D =

I have order another test

will appreciate your input and post new test when I get it done

thank you for your comment

by the time they come, I should get my latest test result

Well, i cant say for sure because they didnt run the Free T3 & Free T4, however the low TSh to me indicates that your thyroid is probably working okay.. my guess is your Free T3 and Free T4 will come in right on the line.

Free T3 above 3, Free T4 above 1.0 is healthy levels.

You need Ferritin in addition to the other iron tests to for sure make an iron judgement. Ferritin needs to be above 70.

At this point you might want to ask for a refferal to a RA, mine was very helpful and able to test for everything under the sun for me, lyme disease, lupus etc..

Shoot....

I will talk to the doctor again, I went there today and still couldn't convince him to run another test. They told me that there is no need for another test.

a while ago (7 years ago) I saw another and he told me I show sign of anemia from my test because of low iron. When I saw him again I will ask for Ferritin test. The doctor says that the tsh doesn't fluctuate that much. I don't know the relationship between the tsh and the free t3 and free t4. I will definitely ask again for another test.

A while ago when I talk to another doctor about taken iron supplements, he told me don't do that. I went to a vitamin store and one guy showed me a syrup and he told me that was very good for anemia. May be I should check that again.

I do have the black molasses at home; maybe I should start taking it. Do you know something better than black molasses for anemia. The one I have only has 20% iron per tsp. The reason I stop taking it, because I take magnesium powder in the morning, it looks like when I take a tsp with magnesium powder it game me diarrhea. I will stop taking the magnesium in the morning and take the black molasses instead.

Your comment welcome

Is the re a difference between RA and rheumatologists. Last time I talked to my rheumatologists, she recommended me to see a spine surgeon and neurologist.

I have done some research about mayo clinic. There is one in Scottsdale, when I call them to try to make an appointment, they told me that I need to have a diagnostic first in order to see a neurologist. That does not make sense to me. Right now I try to get a diagnostic.

Any input about mayo clinic?

Sorry to hear this, my advise. Find a New Dr.

I have had a issue that no one could figure out, and I just kept going in circles. Finally I switched dr's they started running new test and I did a lot of research and "we" found the issue.

My Motto in life is Never Give Up.

Good Luck to you

Rich

Thank you for you advice

this is what I will do

MRI Result
 

This is the report of my new MRI below. Sometime I feel a little pain in the upper left of my neck. I don't now much about the MRI term, my rheumatologists told me that should not cause the sensation, but she suggest I see a spine surgeon
==========================

CLINICAL HISTORY: Cervicalgia.

TECHNIQUE: Non-enhanced imaging acquisition utilizing Hitachi Airis II scanner

IMAGING ACQUISITIONS: Sagitall and axial T1 weighted images and axial
T1 weighted images, sagittal T2 fast spin echo images, and coronal T2 images including axial magnified transfer contrast images are obtained.

FINDINGS: The cervicomedullary junction is normal. The cervical spinal cord is normal.

C2-C3 is normal with some disk degeneration. Mild disk dehydration is noted at C3-C4, C4-C5 demonstrates slight uncinate process hypertrophy without significant impingement. C5-C6 demonstrates slight uncinate process hypertrophy. C6-C7 shows a mild disk buldge that is slightly eccentric towards the right, with mild pressure upon the thecal sac.

IMPRESSION
C6-C7: Mild disk budge, slightly eccentric towards the right

Your MRI indicates you have problems with your neck. In my experience the neurologist have been no help what-so-ever (with this MRI they will see you now). However, the spine Dr. has been very helpful.

Don’t let any Dr. tell you you can’t be treated or tested !

The only thing you need for low iron is “Amnio Acid Chelated Iron” 29mg. Don’t buy into all those people trying to sell you things because they know your in pain.

Do you take Vitamin D3? (5,00IU/day)

Low ferritin also causes symptoms like fibromyalgia. Ferritin becomes low long before your iron blood labs go low, it’s a measure of iron stored in the blood.
