I would really appreciate help with this as it does look as though I finally have some clues as to what may be going on - and that there may be an underlying cause to all my symptoms.
With thanks,

Many thanks - I actually used the STTM calculator (see stopthethyroidmadness.com/r... and made sure I entered the correct units of measurement for each (they are different measurement units). Please feel free to double check I've entered them correctly - brain not in gear today!
(4.17 x 100)/18 = 23 (to the nearest whole number)
What are the reference ranges on your results?
For STTM to pick a particular number (14) and saying anything over that is excessive, is nonsensical without specifying the units to be used and the reference range they are comparing to.
Edit : STTM do this a lot - mention a number without units or reference ranges. It is annoying and potentially dangerous.
Many thanks Humanbean, that makes a huge difference! The ref range is 10-24 so 18 is within range.
I had hoped that the ratio results would answer a few questions, but no - back to the drawing board for me then.
I don't know if you saw the full Blue Horizon results (see the link above). Marz wonders if central hypothyroidism may be the problem, though I have my doubts. I'd be interested in your feedback.
