  • SB, are you on thyroid hormone replacement? TSH 11 is overtly hypothyroid and your GP should prescribe 75mcg/100mcg Levothyroxine. Your Free Thyroxine (FT4) is low in range because of your elevated TSH.

    Your ferritin is low and you should aim for 70-90. Buy some iron tablets and take each tablet with 500mcg vitamin C to aid absorption and mitigate constipation.

    Your B12 and folate are low in range but not deficient so you should supplement B12 methylcobalamin sublingual lozenges or spray and folic acid or methyl folate.

    It's worth asking your GP to test your vitamin D too. Hypothyroid patients are often deficient and supplementing until in the optimal range is very beneficial for well being and absorption of Levothyroxine.

    I think elevated CRP and ESR denote inflammation somewhere in the body but I can't be sure. Ask your GP what it means.
