You're on 100mcg of levo now, yes? You need a dose increase - it's not enough.

But what really hit me between the eyes was your B12 result. That's woefully low - presumably because you have CD. You desperately need some B12!

What was the range for that FT3 result? It looks odd but it might just be an unusual range.

The range ft3 was 3.100-6.800 it's no wonder I'm so poorly last week went to GP with seriously swollen tongue and was told it was viral-well it's B12

Thank you. x

It was all one hell of a shock but at least she didn't have to suffer too long. Can't quite believe she's gone, if I'm honest.

I agree with jazzw about your B12.

Also, your folate and vitamin D are far too low.

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.

Yes crp is inflammation marker and iron status just says ferritin

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.
