Twinmumjane, Antibodies are negative for autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's). TSH 1.0 is usually comfortable for most but FT4 is low in range, and FT3 just under mid-way through range.
CRP is an inflammation marker. Ferritin is high in range which can also indicate inflammation but a cold or virus at the time of testing can elevate ferritin. If you feel unwell show the results to your GP who might want to do a full blood count.
I don't know whether cholesterol and glucose are good or bad from the results as there's no range.
B12 is low in range. Supplement 1,000mcg methylcobalamin and take a B Complex vitamin to keep the other B vits balanced. Folate over range isn't a problem when B12 is within normal range.

Thanks clutter. The cholesterol is high and the blood glucose is highish but not diabetic, my GP did these along with full blood count and refused to give me a print out. There was no cold or virus that i am aware of that may have increased CRP or Ferritin.
Twinmumjane, the Data Protection Act entitles patients to their results. Ask your GP receptionist or practice manager for a copy.There shouldn't be more than a nominal £1/£2 charge for results requested within 40 days of testing.
twinmumjane,
Your total cholesterol is high but this depends on the HLH:lDL ration. Do you have these?
Blood Glucose 5.8 mmol/l is considered prediabetes but only just.
CPR elevated shows the presence of inflammation in the body ( in lots of Hashi sufferers).
Ferritin would be considered good but with other results could been seen as high so indicating inflammation. FT4 & FT3 are quite low. TSH is good if you are medicating thyroid hormone replacement otherwise probably too low.
Are you medicating and if so what and what dose?
No thyroid antibodies -lucky you.
B12 needs supplementing to get levels at least to 500 many advocate 1000.
These results could be indicative of low thyroid hormone.
Mismanaged hypothyroidism will compromise the adrenals that secrete cortisol. Unbalanced cortisol will effect your blood sugars and can cause insulin resistance.
Also because the adrenals manufacture a number of hormones, such as adrenaline, aldosterone, oestrogen and testosterone you may have other imbalances. Is your month cycle regular and trouble free?
Thyroid hormones are converted in the liver and influence cholesterol & other lipids.
Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism can slow these processes resulting in high cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides and raised liver enzymes. High cholesterol is also caused by a slowing down of the gall bladder which metabolises liver byproducts. This slows the flow of bile used to breakdown dates and cholesterol ( & can lead to gallstones ). Bile stimulates flow through the stomach helping to absorb and eliminate foods.

Wow thank you. I am undiagnosed and not medicating. My monthly cycle although regular was extremely heavy before having the implant and i was like a crazy woman with PMT lasting 2 weeks, which is why i had the implant in the first place. I have no breakdown of the cholesterol but will try and get it.
What would you suggest is my next course of action?
