These are my results appreciate any information (I paid for test privately and I am going to speak to GP tomorrow after still feeling rubbish.
TSH 5.42 (previously 80-9 weeks ago)
free thyroxine 16.97
total thyroxine 99.00
free t3 8.53
Thyroidglobulin antibody 300.100
Thyroid peroxidase antibodies 481
Vitamin b12 157.4
Folate 5.63
vitamin d 31.3
inflammation marker 1
iron status 55.61
I had generic blood test initially which I requested and wasn't tested for antibodies but had feeling I had hasimotos I'm guessing I have? what do I do now?

I'm puzzled about the "iron status" result. I've never seen that particular type of result before. The things I've usually seen mentioned in relation to iron are :
ferritin
serum iron
total iron binding capcacity
transferrin saturation %
unsaturated iron binding capacity
Hb – Haemoglobin estimation
MCV – Mean corpuscular volume
HCT – Haematocrit
RBC – Red blood cell count
I'm also puzzled by your inflammation marker result. Is this the same as C-Reactive Protein (CRP)?
Also, please, always include units of measurement and reference ranges with test results. They aren't the same everywhere and they can drastically alter the interpretation of results sometimes.
Really need ranges to know what's going on, but your B12, folate and D3 are very, very low if you are in the UK, and all those deficiencies can contribute to your symptoms. Weird to have what looks like over range Free t3 and high TSH as well. Are you taking levo, T4/T3 or NDT?
Another cause of high TSH with high free T3 would be a pituitary tumor. A friend of mine had similar results and her endo did a CT scan and found it. Look it up if you get the chance.
