I'm new, help with blood test results

Hi everyone,

I was diagnosed with ME in 2013. I experience fatigue, I can sleep for hours, pains, brain fog, anxiety, depression, easily irritable. Research shows that a large percentage of people are misdiagnosed and it could be something else.

I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE If anybody could advice on my tests results please. Im desperate for answers and help.

I have done blood tests with Medichecks as follows:

Folate ( Serum) 11.66

Vitamin D 94.8

CRP HS 13.83

Ferritin 144

B12 active 150

TSH 2.25

Free T3 3.44

Free Thyroxine 13.9

Thyroglobulin Antibodies 12.1

Thyroid Peroxidase 9

Thank you

From the tests shown, not the results, it looks like nothing that is very targeted. If they are within acceptable limits then you won't be deficient in the various vitamins and minerals which in fairness can cause your symptoms but I would see them as run of the mill Tests and are unlikely to shed much light in what's going on.

I'm no Dr but I'd imagine I'd have done those bloods to rule those issues out before diagnosing M. E. and repeated a year or so later, just in case, but would be looking at things like Lymes Disease or Lupus.

M. E. is diagnosed through excluding other conditions, when we test clear for all the obvious things like Vit D deficiency, depression and Thyroid function we are left with the likely conclusion it's M. E. I'd like to think your Dr would have ruled out those issues before your diagnosis.

I hope that makes sense, I'm a bit of a wreck mentally at the minute 😳

Oceanescape, If you could add the ranges for these tests, they would be in brackets, e.g. Free Thyroxine - 13.9 (12-22) it will give an accurate picture.

Not what you're looking for?
