> I thought maybe the pdrugs you were taking might possibily be interfering causing your pit to receive modified feedback and it therefore raises your TSH..causing you to maybe make slightly high levels of thyroid hormones..hence how you feel.
Very well could be the ADs...

Pardon my ignorance, but what is ferritin? I would guess it has something to do with iron because of similar root words, but I just don't know.> Unfortunately nothing in our body is isolated..much as the medical profession likes to categorize..but it's horribly confusing to try to put it together..so I see why they like to break it up.
