Despite my TSH being 0.41 (range set at 0.27 to 4.20), I was experiencing symptoms of being hypothyroid. My GP requested further blood tests and the results have come back as follows:

Full blood count classed as normal

Vitamin D - 37

Vitamin B12 - 611

Folate - 5.1

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate - 5mm/h

Glucose random - 8.2 classed as abnormal so had a fasting glucose test.

Fasting glucose test - 5.3 classed as normal

Renal sodium - 143; potassium - 4.3; urea - 3.7; creatinine - 61

Ferritin - 118

Thank you

My free t4 was not checked. I am currently taking Levo 200mcg a day. What do you mean by antibodies and central hypothyroid??

My GP is not very helpful and I think I have food intolerances and she literally laughed.

I will repost the above with the ranges added to them tomorrow.

Assuming the ranges I often see your folate and vitamin d both look low. My numbers are very similar to yours and I have been put on high dose of vitamin d and told to take folic acid. But yes, as reallyfedup123 said ranges are definitely needed. Low vitamin d can give you hypo like symptoms.

Antibodies are important when people complain of hypo or hyper symptoms with tsh in range. If you have an autoimmune problem (ie Hashi ) your tsh could be in range the day you are tested but be a totally different number a week or month later. You might want to ask to have thyroid antibodies tested.

I would tend to agree. The first things I noticed were the low vitamin D and folate. These could well be contributing to symptoms.
