Can anyone ball park interpret these results please?
Have posted previously in Jan and was advised to get a private test after a bad routine (but needed as been unwell for months) phone appt with Endo. After speaking to his secretary the Endo said repeat test with extras. After waiting more than a month I have now got the following path ‘headlines’ verbally

Hi, I've posted old blood results, but has anyone heard of Dr Elizabeth Bright? My previous thyroid tests. Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) 3.31 mU/L (0.27 - 4.2 mU/L) Triiodothyronine (FT3) 3.55 pmol/L (3.1 - 6.8 pmol/L) Free Thyroxine (FT4) 14.3 pmol/L (12 - 22 pmol/L) Antibodies were fine

Endo has given me T3.. What do I need to know?
So after many calls and emails over the last 6 weeks, I got an emergency appt with my endo. 2 months ago he dangled the carrot of "maybe needing to add in T3" but then wrote to me saying my bloods are in range and to review in August. Then he's ignored me. After persistence and many messages, I saw

New Research: Link Between Type D Personality and Hypothyroidism Discovered. Thoughts??
Interesting new study. Full access to the original research can be found below the news article. https://neurosciencenews.com/type-d-personality-hypothyroidism-25888/ Not really sure the purpose of this other than clutching at straws and keeping the prized TSH measurement in focus rather than looking

Worried about TSH levels :( 0.04mlU/L
I am taking a small 3mg of T3 with a private prescription and my NHS endo has said, this prescription is causing my lower TSH - but that feels like I'm being gaslight again. I'm feeling soo fatigued and stressed trying to get it sorted. I know I need to my levels on the lower side due to previous thyroid

What next? Thyroid?
I am looking for some advice before I go back to the GP next week, and I feel 'safe' asking it here. First some background might help: I live in Australia- GPs and their nursing staff here are no better educated than elsewhere the world, but fortunately we can buy hydroxycobalamin over the counter

FLC Serum
So I just got back my Free Light Chain Serum results and honestly, I can't figure out what this means. Kappa FLC, serum 20.84 (High) Lambda FLC - 7.89 (normal) Kappa/Lambda FLC Ratio - 2.64 (High) Also had SPEP + IFE Reflex done - can't figure out what this means either. All is normal except

Is it known for Electromagnetic Field Radiation (EMF) to increase TSH whilst still having normal T4 and T3 levels?
Hi, I know a lot of people say that electromagnetic fields are generally not a risk, but what if someone is exposed to it constantly throughout the day without any fresh air, surrounded by computers and other equipment quite close to your body? Can this increase and play havoc with your TSH number

T3 and endo advice needed / East Sussex
Hi, am really struggling to get T3 medication. I asked for an NHS referral to Sunil Z but got declined due to being out of area. I live in Brighton and he's Surrey and Sussex NHS. Can they just decline like this? I don't have limitless funds to do endless private blood tests and consultations. The cost

stopping vitamins before tests
hi everyone, I can’t remember if I have to stop my vitamin b12 and D before doing my medichecks test - the one that tests for t3, t4, tsh, folate, b12, D, ferritin and inflammation. I’m taking the vitamins in spray form now so no biotin - is there any other reason I have to stop before testing? Thanks
