Maud, what are the lab ref ranges?

Your FT4 and ferritin look high to me but would like to see ranges to be sure. Don't supplement iron until someone has checked the ferritin level.

Your folate is low, ideally would be around 10 I think, but may be due to your B12 injection. I'm not really sure on B12/folate/MCH Hampster1 is the expert on these.

Once your serum results are good in range it can take 6 weeks to 3 months to feel the results at a cellular level.

Which B complex are you using. I'm looking for one that doesn't have 100mg B6.

If the ferritin range is 5-204 you don't need to supplement iron.

Clutter was just wondering those bloods were taken when I was just two days off an antibotic would that have made the t4 high
