Remember when my doc told me to stop my NDT? Here's my test results.

[LuxN]

Serum free triiodothyronine level (XaERq)5.2 pmol/L [3.1 - 6.8]

Serum TSH level (XaELV)Below range< 0.02 mIU/L [0.3 - 5.0]

Serum vitamin B12 level (XE2pf)836 ng/l [220.0 - 914.0]

Serum ferritin level (XE24r)99 ng/ml [19.0 - 528.0]

Serum folate level (42U5.)5.2 ng/ml [2.6 - 20.1]

As mentioned, I take 5 grains of NDT a day, split into two doses. I hadn't taken my meds for at least 24 hours before this test but I was unable to fast (due to illness that stopped me sleeping).

Is there anything that jumps out at anyone?

Oh...and I don't believe in the heart/diet connection but interesting to see my total cholesterol went down from 7.7 to 5.5 this time. Is it because I left at least 24 hrs between taking my NDT and my blood test?

Well, that all looks fine in as much the FT3 is towards the top of the range (and a suppressed TSH when you're taking NDT means nothing - that's fine). So 5 grains isn't too much for you. How do you feel? There is still room for a small rise should you need one.

LuxN, well you aren't overmedicated as FT3 is within range so your doctor must have been freaking out at the suppressed TSH. Cholesterol often drops when optimally medicated.

B12 is fine but folate is a bit low. Supplement B Complex.

Ferritin range is the highest I've ever seen. >100 to half way through range is often advised as optimal, but not, I think, half way through your range.

Hi - how do I boost ferritin and folate? I've just started a multivit that contains iron (as well as some helpful bacteria I think I need to help with my GORD symptoms).
