Hi. I'm 32, have been gaining weight very rapidly, experiencing hair loss and insomnia along with fatigue. I just got my thyroid tested. Can someone tell if these results are indicative of some sort of hypothyroidism/hashimoto's/something?

TSH: 1,35 mU/L. Range: [ 0,35 - 4,94 ]

Free T4: 12,51 pmol/L. Range: [ 9,03 - 19,09 ]

Anti-thyroglobuline : 4,51 U/mL. Range: [ < 4,11 ]

Anti-microsomal (TPO) : <1 U/mL: Range: [ < 5,61 ]

Hello, Please can you edit your post and put the ranges in brackets next your results so it reads something like this -

TSH 1.25 (0.3 - 4.2)

That way we can help you as different labs use different reference ranges.

Unfortunately any doctor seeing these results will regard you as having normal thyroid function. This is because your TSH is considered idea, and the range for free T4 starts at 9.

Have you had tests for vitamin D, ferritin, haemoglobin, vitamin B12 and folate? If not it's worth having them done.

I'm at a loss. I know something is not right but the labs are coming back normal. I only had haemoglobin tested: 5,2 % [ 4 - 6 ], again, looking normal.

BTW your thyroid antibody results don't indicate you have autoimmune thyroid disease.

Unfortunately you need have a wider range of tests including the nutrients I've mentioned, a full blood count, kidney and liver function tests.

You can't rule out Hashi's on the basis of one negative test. Antibodies fluctuate. So, if I were you, I would get them tested again some time.

Really need to check B12, folate and vitamin D

Could those be affecting my thyroid or simply be responsible for the symptoms I described?

It could be either or both. If they are low, they will need supplementing to enable your own thyroid or replacement Levo to work

if you are going thru menopause or change of hormones, you will feel terrible.

If you have love vitamin d3.....you will drag yourself or low ferritin serum or low b12...or even

low normal in these.......so thyroid is not the only go to to feel absolutely terrible...I think it looks more like you have deficiencies.....of vitamins etc maybe.......

Not what you're looking for?
