Do you mean that you had an iron deficieny anemia, but your doc put you on a thyroid med as a therapeutic trial? Or are you being your own doc? Supplemental iron can become toxic. Look up hemochromotosis.

6 doctors I went thru until the last who said take vitamin D and also said I was low in iron. He recommended 2000IU and after taking it for a bit I noticed I felt better. I stopped the thyroid pills (100mmg) then and up the vitamin D to 10000.
I had different docs give me different amounts of thyroid med. I think it was just an imbalance with all the blasted coca cola high fructose corn syrup. I stopped drinking soda except occasional diet sunkist. I avoid msg too.

Doctors practice medicine.
I even had one doc say I had diabetes.... which I do not. I just stopped drinking pop. My triglycerides and blood pressure went back to normal. I also take cinnamon pills which helps.

The next questions are why are you low in iron. Ulcers? Cancer? I hope not, but you need answers. You don't have an iron deficiency anemia for no reason.

is a naturally made supplement from grass fed cows which is a great source of all kinds of Vitamin K2.

I've read that D3 should be taken in conjunction with K2; else calcium more easily forms arterial plaque.

Thoughts?

IIRC, John Cannell MD hawks his D3 with K2, Boron and magnesium. There was an article in Family Practice News a few years ago. It mentioned blacks taking D3 supplements getting a lot of calcified arteries in larger vessels, e.g. aorta and carotids.

I had a very mild stroke about 3-4 years ago. (Started having seizures in less than 24 hours after the stroke)I had absolutely no risk factors for a stroke other than a small atrial septal defect in my heart which no one knew about until a couple months ago. I was taking D3 with K2, Boron and magnesium at the time and have been too afraid to try it since then but not really sure it had anything to do with the stroke.

What do you think, could vitamin K have contributed to the stroke? I now take 81 mg. aspirin twice a day. At the time I was taking 81mg pretty regularly.
