Can't comment on most of those test results but the freeT3 and freeT4 do look a bit low in range, so you could ask for a trial of levothyroxine maybe if you have a lot of potentially hypothyroid symptoms though the TSH isn't high enough that most GP's would consider it. Or you could ask for your GP to test for antibodies to check for signs of autoimmune thyroid trouble in case low in range is a warning of such things.
Might actually be worth trying iron supplements first/too as your ferritin is under 70 that most people around here say it ought to be for good thyroid function and B12 looks not ideal in range either.
Many thanks for your reply.. my tsh has been alot higher. . But has recently come down.. I was put on levo last year and had a terrible time on it.. became so ill I thought I was dying... my anti bodies were only at 1.0 - doctor said that doesn't matter - today I got good news... I am vitamin d deficient. . So that might be why I couldn't take the levo.. so have just bought vit d and k1 and hoping to see a big difference happy new year to you and thanks I will keep taking spatone iron and vit b.. which I ha e taken religiously for last few years x
If you've been taking vit b and iron for last few years it's a little surprising they aren't higher. Is there any chance anything, like coeliacs or low stomach acid, interfering with absorption?
Funny you should say that. . I was reading about vit d last night.. and I eat the right foods and love sunshine.. and dont use sunscreen.. so dont know why mine is so low.
I have had bleeding bowels and iBS symptoms ever sjnce having my son 18 years ago... I had tests and as told it was just iBS. . The doctor did a coeliac test last week and it came back normal apparently.. I deffo think I have food allergies.. as my hands swell and get hot whenI eat certain foods pparticularly anything with MSG in it or beer... My bblood group is A neg (rh) - and I have read that it has low stomach acid and should follow a veggie diet.. I do eat meat though. . Mainly chicken.
So now I am wondering if you are right. . Maybe all my problems stem from bad gut..maybe if I take probiotics
And digestive enzymes.. things might improve
thanks for taking the time to help me... really appreciate it... health matters cant really pickle your head.. it all gets so confusing and overwhelming
