Blood Test Results

Please would someone be so helpful to explain results; I have been Hashimoto's for the last 7 years - due to lack of knowledge from the medical profession, I am about to embark on taking 60mg of Armour; ( purchase privately ) in order to protect my the thyroid.

I would be most grateful for any insight into the following latest readings:

Albumin High 51 range 34 - 50

Phosphate Low 0.76 " " 0.87 1.45

Red cell count 5.28 3.95 - 5.15

Haemoglobin High 161 115 - 155

Eosinophils High 0.56 0.0 - 0.04

Fee T4 5.4 12.0 - 22.0

ESR ? 2 1- 20

Symptoms Depression off the scale - tiredness - brain melts away - fade into a non - functioning state of oblivion.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

  • Your ft4 is v low, isn't it, do you have a tsh reading with range as well?

  • Hi Aspmama,

    Thank you for responding - my TSH is 3.87. Just been reading stop he Thyroid madness website; not too sure what to do as they have changed the formula of Armour; not very positive for a lot of people ,as they are trying other NDTs.

    What's your experience?

    Many thanks

  • Sorry forgot to mention range 0.27 - 4.20 for TSH

  • NDT is the way fwd although

    Should really be obtained as if these 4 are low you wont be able to utilise the t4 in ndt

    Armour is expensive have you considered Westhyroid /Naturethyroid or thyroid-s

    Many thanks

    So ill today - I can't believe I could feel any worse.

  • Are you currently on levo, and if so, what dose?

    The experts on your results will be along in a minute, but they need to know that I think.

  • Hi Aspmama,

    I tried Levo - but, it didn't agree with me. Last year my T3 had dropped so low.. managed to obtain some from a friend who regularly visits Crete.

    Stopped T3, as I now going to try an NDT; Just about to try Armour for the first time.

    Unless, you believe there is something much more efficacious.

    My brain is mush today - not too sure how I am managing to type or put my sentences together.

    Feeeeelllll so illll!

  • Armour is expensive

    WESTHYROID/NATURETHYROID have least fillers

    Thyroid-s is cheaper and used by many
