Belated test results from previous post

[pauline1972]

My last test was on the 28th June for serum TSH level 4.31mu/L ...normal range is between 0.35 -5.5

Some of my previos results have been 2.61 , 1.88 and 2.7 does anyone know what these results mean and know why i still feel like crap

Pauline1972,

TSH 4.31 is high in range indicating that your thyroid is struggling to produce hormone. NHS is unlikely to diagnose hypothyroidism until TSH is >5.5. You could try supplementing something like NutriThyroid plus 200mcg selenium. It's also an idea to ask your GP to check ferritin, vitamin D, B12 and folate as optimising levels may improve your wellbeing.

pauline1972 It looks like your TSH is rising but you don't give dates for the previous posts so what order are they in?

Did you take any of the advice that was offered in your previous thread about getting a full thyroid panel done along with vitamins and minerals healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

Have you ordered or done a Blue Horizon test or asked for your GP to do the tests mentioned in that post? TSH alone doesn't tell the whole story.

Sorry I thought I had put dates in so here we go 07 jul 2015 results were 2.61 mu/L (0.35-5.5) mu/L before that it was 14 apr 2015 results were 1.88 mu/L (0.35-5.5) muL & i don't think my doctor will do anymore tests also I don't think it's related but once again I have lost my voice so I'm sick as a chip

pauline1972 Well, as your TSH is rising that shows your thyroid is struggling.

Are you on Levo, one of your previous posts seems to suggest that. If so you need an increase.

But if your GP won't do any more tests you'll need to take things into your own hands and it would be best if you got those tests done privately as suggested in your previous thread and then go from there.

Thanks for your help & yes I'm on 100mg levothyroxine in your reply you say to go private but I don't know how to go on about it can you help please
