Elvera111,

FT4 and FT3 are both low in range so you may benefit from taking NDT.

CRP and high ferritin are inflammation markers indicating you may have inflammation or infection somewhere in your body.

Folate is mildly over range but this isn't a problem as your B12 is not deficient.

This link will explain high MCV and MCH evaluations labtestsonline.org/understa...

thanks. It had been suggested i get an antibodies test as well,but the way i see it whatever that result might be i still need to bring my ft4 and ft3 levels up,..Or does the antibodies test suggest something else..i thinki have narrowed my findings down to secondary thyroidism.

[Clutter in reply to elvera111]

Elvera111,

I've suggested several times that your results indicate secondary hypothyroidism and you recently posted that you had pituitary dysfunction in the past which makes it very likely.

I agree, confirming or ruling out antibodies does nothing to raise thyroid levels. I don't think I've seen members who have secondary hypothyroidism also have Hashimoto's antibodies.
