Hi
Whilst on holiday recently in Florida I had blood tests done, I am struggling to make sense of them, I wonder if anyone can "translate" them fir me?
Free T3 - 2.6
T3 reverse- 21.0
FSH-13.0
TSH-0.50
Progesterone-0.6
Cortisol-7.0
Vitamin D-25
Pregenolone-<5.0
Thyroid Peroxidase antibodies-<1
Thyroglobulin antibodies-<1
I can't see anything for T4
I currently take Levothyroxine 125mcg daily
I also have been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue for the past 18years
Thanks for any help

Ninapark,
You'll have to add the reference ranges (the figures in brackets after the results) if you want someone to interpret the results.

Sorry
T3 free 2.6 (4-4.5)
T3reverse 21,(8-25)
FSH 13 ( follicular phase? 2.5-10.2) sorry I don't have a record next to FSH I found the bracketed numbers further in the document
TSH 0.50 (again not sure of this ref range 0.40-4.50)
Progesterone 0.6 (5-15)
Cortisol 7.0 (>18)
Vitamin D 25 (70-90)
Pregnenolone<5 (>100)
I don't know if anyone can understand the above, apologies for pissible inaccuracies with the ranges not very clear in the paperwork

No FT4? Without that, it's difficult to see if you're converting or not. But, your FT3 is very low. I would suspect a pituitary problem - secondary hypo - because your TSH is also very low.
You didn't actually give the result of the vit d test. Vit D-25 is the name of the test, not the result.

Sorry Vitamin D was 19, but I had been taking Vitamin D for about 4-6 weeks prior to having these BTs

Vit D needs to be around 60 ng/L. I would suggest a dose of around 4500 Iu's daily. How much are you taking ?
