Test Results interpretation
HNY everyone! I got my test results back from the GP today. She did a full MOT (although didn’t include vit d or ferritin) but I’m not sure what they mean or if they are optimal. My vit b12 is 502 (197-771) Serum folate is 8th/L (3.0-26.8) My thyroid results are meaningless as I had taken my meds

I have had my thyroid checked. I’m sure my consultant is going to reduce my thyroxine dose because of my suppressed TSH. My TSH has been suppressed ever since I started taking medication (2004). Should he be reducing it? I always do better with my T4 in the top end. I had my T4 tested (without the

Opinions on blood results
hi all, after an extremely disappointing call with the doctor today I was hoping for some advice. I’ve been on Levo for almost a year. 100mcg for the last 6 months. My blood test in October showed TSH just under 1. Tests a couple of weeks ago 4.71. The whole reason I went for another test and appt

This result is a friends from 3 years ago .should someone euthyroid have tsh below 1 ? And so could they have been in first stages of hypothyroidism

ERFA Source
Hi. I remember from a long time ago, there is one stockist abroad that will sell ERFA without needing a prescription. I would be really grateful if anyone can tell me who it is by PM, thanks. I am desperate to try it as Thyroid S is no longer working for me. My health authority will not prescribe any

What percentage is this T4 results?
Thia is my daughter's t4 result from a private health check she has just paid for. Her TSH was 4.5. I have been trying to persuade her to increase her levothyroxine given that her GP doesn't seem to know much but she has held off until now. She is going to her GP again now with me advising her to be

just below normal Vit D symptoms
My husband has been suffering fatigue, low mood, and poor sleep over the last few months. Quite comprehensive blood tests only showed that his D3 level is just insufficient at 49, when acceptable levels should be 50+. Is it possible that his symptoms could be down to his D level? GP recommended he supplements

Can anyone explain how TSH can go from undectable to 7.14 in two weeks?
I finally got an endocrinologist to see me, and she was adamant that I quit taking T3. The lab test at that visit had TSH <.02 (undetectable). I put my trust in her and stopped the T3 and continued 50 mcg levo/ day. After 2 weeks I went in for another test for TSH and T4. T4 was 0.4 and TSH was 7.14

New results - TSH up despite levo
Hi, I have been taking 25mcgs levothyroxine for 6 and a half weeks now and my previous results from 24th November 2023 were: TSH 4.18 (0.27-4.2) T4 12.7 (12-22) My latest results are TSH 4.36 (0.27-4.2) T4 14.1 (12-22) So my TSH has gone up - which seems strange. I did try taking 50mcgs for a few
