Yeah - I'm familiar with grains but it is easier if grains and the T3 content in mcg is used to be certain we are clear.
Is your BP OK now? (if it was you that had it higher yesterday). The 1.5 grains is about 13 mcg T3 yes. Your first dose can move to 2:15am IF we have to but you may be fine at 3:30am - we have to leave it stable now for some days and watch the result. This is the cool part when the adrenals begin to work and you feel better again!!! I am very hopeful!!!

25 mg of iron is a drop in the ocean and is not enough to raise iron. You need 200-300 mg of ferrous gluconate or ferrous fumerate twice a day to get your levels higher. Ferrous sulphate is harder on the digestive system. It can take 6 months to move iron up. It is like pushing a ten ton truck - very hard to move it. My book has a list of the key supplements. Here is what I recommend for the thyroid and adrenal pathways:

B complex (50mg of B1-B6) - twice a day with food.
B12 - 500mcg-1000mcg - once a day with food (you already have this covered).
C - 500mg four to six times a day - with or without food
D3 - 2500 - 5000 IUS a day - once a day if no kidney problems (higher if low)
a chelated multi-mineral - once a day with food
200-400mg chelated magnesium (has to be chelated) - twice a day with food.

Enjoy!!!
Vigdis I'd like to see your BP,heart rate, body temperature and main symptoms being recorded in your daily notebook with the exact natural thyroid dosing you are using. Record these every day. Sometimes it is necessary to take 3-5 sets of readings to really understand how things change over a day. Don't be fooled just by how you are feeling - symptoms sometimes lie. Getting the BP/heart rate and temp readings is very important when combined with symptoms.

Sometime over the next few days you could post some results here for me/others to look at - they will see also what I mean by recording then. When you post any results also precede it with: get up time; thyroid medication doses and times as I have already discussed - then all the useful information is available.
