Can someone explain these results to me and should I take it to my own doctor ? . Thanks

Your TSH is still high, what medication and dosage do you take? You should really bring up your folate, seeing as how you're below range your doctor can definitely prescribe the right supplement and continue to test your deficiencies.

Yes, take it to your doctor! Is there a reason you wouldn't want your doctor to see these results?

Thanks for the reply ! I take 100mcg of Levothyroxine a day but still feel fatigued and sore bones . My medication has been put up and reduced every so often . My doctor is not very forthcoming with any advice has to why it's up and down that's why I got my bloods done privately but I will take it to her and see what she says.

BeeGee1962,

You need a dose increase. The goal of Levothyroxine is to restore the patient to euthyroid status. For most patients that will be when TSH is 1.0 or lower with FT4 in the upper range. FT4 needs to be in the upper range in order that sufficient T3 is converted. Read Treatment Options in thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/about_...

Thyroid peroxidase antibodies are positive for autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's). There is no cure for Hashimoto's which causes 90% of hypothyroidism. Treatment is for the low thyroid levels it causes. Many people have found that 100% gluten-free diet is helpful in reducing Hashi flares, symptoms and eventually antibodies.

High ferritin when you are not supplementing iron may be due to inflammation somewhere in the body.

I can't read the vitD, B12 and folate results but I can see that folate is flagged deficient. Perhaps you can manually type them.
