Blood Results

[Browne123]

Hi all, I'm expecting some blood results tomorrow, could someone tell me what they believe to be a good TSH,T4 AND T3 level please? Although actually think just had TSH AND T4 tested for. Last test my TSH was around 2.8 which was showing as normal but then GP said should be like 1???

Thanks guys

Not really,depends on the ranges .Post your results with ranges and then ask for comments.

Browne123, Good levels are those where you feel well. Optimal levels are TSH just above or below 1.0 for most people with FT4 in the top 75% or range and FT3 in the top third of range.

Well don't feel good so will wait for results. Been diagnosed with ME/CFS as a result of my ongoing fatigue, joint/muscular pain etc but starting to wonder if been misdiagnosed and is in fact just poor control of hypothyroidism. Thanks for your reply.

Browne, I'll have a look at the results when you post them. Are ferritin, vitamin D, B12 and folate good? Low levels cause musculoskeletal pain, fatigue and low mood similar to hypothyroid symptoms.

I've only ever had Vit D tested which was good (don't know range, was just told for time of year-January-was excellent). I've never had any other tests done but reading on here and seeing other people talking about these tests I was planning on speaking to my GP at my next appointment about doing them. I will post my results once I have them.........

Thankyou
