Blood test results
can anyone advise re test results? not sure what to think
Normal TSH result. Where to go from here?
I'm new here. Can someone help me understand my blood test results, please? 
How do you feel?
You don't have a T3 which isn't helpful.
The only one I can see is low is folate.
The one you are at risk of getting too high is your vitamin D. So if you are on vitamin D supplements you should stop supplementing even though it's winter as you don't want to go over the toxicity level. Remember vitamin D is fat soluble so you store it.
Hi Blue I feel horrendous.
I've been off work all this week and just want to sleep all the time, hoarse voice, sore throat, cold from within, just can't get warm but burning up in the evening, bones aching. My eyes are puffy and I look like crap!
Right up till Xmas I was supplementing with Vit D and B12 so I wasn't surprised to see those were high. I expected them to be. I haven't been supplementing with them since.
I cut out wheat/gluten a while back because it makes me itch and puffs me up and I don't drink alcohol as I just can't tolerate it.
My Haemotocrit was also below range whatever that means
Normal reason for just out of range haemotocrit is that is you are dehydrated.
You need to supplement folate to get it halfway in range.
As I mentioned you don't have a free T3 test result. That would be helpful as your TSH doesn't show anything significant. Your T4 is low and that is suspect. I would get some thyroid hormone only tests done which have free T3 tested in them.
I've ordered a T3 test from Blue Horizon. I'm a bit anoyed that the GP didn't do one as we talked about my symptoms poss being due to thyroid problems.
Is the T4 result considered low if it's within the range? I feel shocking but my heart sunk earlier this week when the receptionist cheerfully told me "all normal no further action"
I drink two litres of water every day so I don't know how I could be dehydrated
Get the FT3 test done and start a new thread with the results and ranges for your:
- TSH
- FT4
- FT3
Also mention there is nothing significant apart from sub-optimal folate in your other tests.
skyrocket Can I suggest that if you've ordered only the FT3 test, that you contact Blue Horizon and change it to the Thyroid Plus Three so you get TSH, FT4 and FT3 done at the same time. You need FT4 and FT3 from the same blood draw to see how well you are converting.
Blue Horizon are very helpful, I recently had to change some tests after I'd ordered and paid.
I have phoned them as per your suggestion. They are sending me another invoice to pay. Hopefully I might get the test quickly (opted for finger prick test) and might have an answer next week.
I feel a bit gutted really as I feel so ill but don't seem to be closer to getting any answers why. I really thought so many of my symptoms seemed to fit being Hypo but its not looking that way.
I don't know where to turn next.
Hang in there skyrocket , let's see if you are converting, your answer might lie there.
I was in your position and about 15 months ago I tested just about everything (not all at once because of cost). I ruled some things out - no candida, not iodine deficient - but found problems with adrenals, sex hormones and conversion not particularly good, plus nutrient deficiencies. I've been working on them for 12 months and have seen some improvement.
