Iron deficiency is associated with Hypothyroxinemia and Hypotriiodothyroninemia in the Spanish general adult population: Di@bet.es study
Interesting - patients found to have reduced FT4 and reduced FT3 associated with lower ferritin levels. But without change of TSH. Surely, if the TSH test is so exquisitely sensitive and is the best test for hypothyroidism, it would reveal the lower FT4 and FT3 levels regardless of ferritin level?

So confused! Can anyone help me make sense of blood results & advise on supplements?
Hi All, so a couple of weeks ago I was told my thyroid was a little underactive and prescribed a low dose of Levothyroxine. (25mcg). I assumed it was my TSH the GP meant but I got my blood results and that and my T4 are fine, T3 is a little low. I don't understand, reading other people's experiences

Options after Carbi and PTU caused neutropenia
My husband has got Graves’ disease and he is also one of extremely rare cases who reacted to both drugs with white cells drop. I still struggle to get my head around it how come he is one of these very few people. After last blood test, his cells were below range so he will be closely monitored again

Low T3 uptake. Help please!
Post RAI Graves for 10 years now: A year ago, despite TSH of 3.8 and FT4 of 14.7, my FT3 was 3.3 (range 4.00 -6.80). Doctor advised increasing Levo by .50 mg per week from 1.25mg x 5 days, 100mg x 2 days per week to 125mg each day. I am highly dose-sensitive. Latest test shows, as expected, FT4 raised
