Help advice required on blood test

[Millerk]

Hi guys I have had Underactive thyroid for five years. My tsh is 0.01 and t4 is 10 Dr says its Just in range my t4 used to be 16! I feel dreadful.

Hi MillerK,

I see from a follow up post that you are taking 6 grains NDT. It is quite common for FT4 to be lower on NDT than when you were taking Levothyroxine. When taking NDT it is helpful to have FT3 tested.

Hi

Just got blood test back and they did not test t3? Only tsh and t4

Millerk,

If your practice or lab won't test FT3 you can order private tests via thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/testin...

Thanks, just picked up results he tested everything else but t3. My full blood count is 424, red blood is 4.65 (3.8-4.8) tsh = 11(10-22) t4 =11(10-22) calcium =2.16(2.15-2.6)

I am not sure these are helpful but it looks like my iron is OK.?

Millerk,

If you're asking me I'm afraid I don't know whether FBC and RBC means iron is okay. I thought ferritin was used to judge whether iron is adequate.

I'll see if I can get more tests done that actually help lol
