Hi there, Sorry no one here is medically qualified to read your results . You will need to speak to your GP if your concerned or don't understand what you are reading. I see you have posted on this else where . I will go ahead and delete those posts so not to confuse our members

Sorry ... I’m not very technical and thought I only posted once 🤔

Hi there, that's ok it's easily done I hope you have a very pleasant day xx

All your results are in the "normal" range. There is one that is on the low end of the range but other tests would have to be way off for it to be of significance. Obviously best person to speak too would be your GP as bloods are only a part of any diagnostic process.

@Ladybex I would suggest you post these in the ThyroidUK forum and you'll be helped to interpret your tests results there. Results just being within range isn't sufficient, you need them to be optimal for you. Your FT4 is especially low so yes, post in ThyroidUK for assistance.

Have seen my GP today and has said to alternate taking levothyroxine 25mcg -1 tablet and 2 the next day ... my brand WOCKHARDT only comes in 25mcg ...

Another blood test in 6 weeks... hoping this will help 😥

That's good to hear you got it sorted out 😊 I feel like I'm up there every week for bloods. Had more done yesterday. I swear after 35 years of fibro I must need a blood transfusion by now 🤣🤣

I hope you have a very good day and don't need to go out in the rain ☔

Thanks Dizzytwo ... home now.. also been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia but don’t have meds for this... just paracetamol .. not much help .. do you ?

Hi,I have tried most meds over the years but none have done anything for the fibro pain sadly. So right now I am not taking anything but a muscle relaxer to help with my pain and anxiety. Saying that the GP I saw the other day because my OA pain is now so bad she almost begged me to try Dulexteen . She did say while it would not help my fibro pain it would help my anxiety and OA pain.

I said I would give it serious consideration. In the meantime she asked me to try the pain med Naproxen if I became desperate with the OA pain has this is what this particular med was made for. I am very phobic to medication so we will have to see how much longer I can hold out with all the pain I am now having before getting up the courage to take the pills

Hope you find some relief soon, sending hug 🤗

So you are alternating 25mcg and 50 mcg daily ? That's a tiny dose for someone clearly undermedicated.

That’s what my Dr has prescribed as it’s only small increases each time. Then will wait for next blood test ....
