Blood results (attached)

Blood results are finally here! T3 wasn't tested, nor were antibodies the only thing above range was my mean cell haemoglobin ..... Anyone know anything about this?

Any comments about my blood results gratefully received.... Also advise on next step..... Do I ask for more blood tests? Is so what do I need?

Hypohelen,

Although TSH is below ref range you are not over medicated because FT4 is within range. FT4 13.0 is actually low in range. Resist your GP reducing dose to force your TSH into range because that will cause FT4 to drop further and will reduce T4 to T3 conversion.

Read Treatment Options in thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/about_... Email [e-mail] if you would like a copy of the Pulse article to show your GP.

Thanks for your replies, my antibodies were tested in 2002 and were 3 X max range, not been tested since. I went to dr this time because I was having palpitations, breathlessness, leg cramps, dizzy spells and felt very poorly I thought maybe my dose was too high..... any suggestions?

hypohelen You don't need your antibodies tested again. Once you've tested positive that is enough, you have autoimmune thyroid disease aka Hashimoto's as mentioned in my reply to your previous post. I gave links to articles about Hashi's and suggestions to try to help reduce the antibody attacks.

The symptoms you are mentioning can be indicative of nutritional deficiencies so it would be a good idea to get those tested with the Blue Horizon test I mentioned before.
