[QUOTE="Totto, post: 892181, member: 91524"] So what are the results? You see, if your thyroid meds are too low, even only a tiny bit too low, it can be absolutely impossible to lose weight. Do you get FT3 tested? FT4? Furthermore, metformin can cause lack of B12 and the lower normal range is ridiculously low so if you B12 sits in the lower quarter of the range you can well be having symptoms of B12 deficiency. And what about vitamin D? Have you had it tested? Many of us with autoimmune conditions need to keep vitamin D a fair bit above 100 nmol/l to feel well. Same with Ferritin. I have friends who were told their Ferritin of 20 was perfectly normal. It isn't. [/QUOTE]
