1 year Labs - Significantly hypothyroid but otherwise OK?
My thyroid function tests have been gradually deteriorating since at least April 2010 - don't know if this is related to the weight loss or would have happened anyway. My Internist increased the Synthroid from 0.088 mg daily (I had been on this dose since 4/06) to 0.1 mg daily with some minimal improvement in Free T4, worsening of Total T4, significant improvement in TSH and significant worsening in both Total and Free T3. I just started Cytomel on 10/14/10 at 12.5 mcg BID and will have repeated blood tests in a few weeks. I have an apointment with an Endocrinologist who specializes in Thyroid Disease at the University of Maryland Hospital in December.
The following are the labs I have gotten since before and after surgery. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.

YES.
This is concerning to me. I'm kinda surprised it didn't stand out to Kelly, but then again I notice iron things more than I think anyone else.
While most of your iron numbers are good for now -- and even some increased -- these are on a continual downward spin and this is not good.
What are you doing for iron?
