I've had my second test results from Blue Horizon following my first test back in May. The results are surprisingly similar but my symptoms seem to be getting worse, including fatigue, zero libido, aches and pains, really stiff legs and sore back, lack of concentration, falling asleep, low heart rate (under 50bpm), low body temperature (under 35 Celsius when I wake) - I could go on. All seem to be consistent with hypothyroid. But my results are as follows:
CRP 0.10
Ferritin 128.4
TSH 2.64
T4 total 107.9
Free t4 18.42
Free T3 5.30
Anti thyroidperoxidase abs 13.7
Anti thyroglubin abs 38.4
B12 397
Serum folate 45.4
Again my serum folate is high but could be through supplements. Last time B12 was low but I've got that up. How do my results look? If it's not hypothyroid any ideas what could be wrong with me? I've got a new dr who I'm seeing next week. Should I push to see an endo?
Thanks

You don't say if you are on any thyroid hormone replacement. I had a brief look on your profile but couldn't find that information.
A TSH of over two, shows that your thyroid is struggling. The FT4 and the FT3 don't look too bad, but really need the ranges to tell. In fact, you should always put the ranges for any test, because they vary from lab to lab. Can't say about the antibodies, either, without the ranges.
However, your B12 is still much too low. I believe you're supplementing, which means that that is a false result, and the true result would be much lower. How much b12 are you taking? With a result like that, you need at least 5000 mcg sublingual methylcobalamin daily. AND a B complex, to balance the Bs.
Your ferritin looks good, but no vit D?
P. A society recommends Total Serum B12 of at least 1000. As you only have 20% of that available. So you really don't have much do you .
Apologies, ranges included below. Not on any medication other than B12 supplements (which are working as I've gone up from 201 to 397 from May to August):
Well, your Frees don't look too bad. But that TSH still says struggling.
Unless that B12 test was an active test, you really do not know your level. You would have to come off the B12 for at least four months to get an accurate result. It is bound to be lower than 397, because you are just measuring what you have taken. And, even at 397, it is still much too low. Which B12 supplements are you taking? And how much?
Well if not tested since last September, it really needs checking, every 6 months, especially to start with. You might not be taking enough or too much.
If taking Vit D, it's recommended that also take vitamin k2 to direct extra calcium into bones. And magnesium is good idea too.
