Hi a while ago I was asking about private blood tests and was given a link by Shaws one of the admins.
Here are my son's results
TSH 2.04 range 0.27-4.20
T4 20.65 12.00-22.00
Total t4 102.9 59.00-154.00
Free t3 5.32 3.10-6.80
TOO 18.57 0.00-34.00
Thyrogloblin
antibodies 13.300 0.00-115.00
Vitamin B12 228 140-724.00
Vitamin d
25 OH 39.59 50.00-200.00
CPR 0.7 0.00-5.00
Ferritin 95.57 30.00-400.00
Any advice would be great he has all the symptoms of hasimotos he is 32 and hasn't got any energy he hardly goes out cause he says he's to tired. Thank you

The thyroid tests are all about where you'd expect them to be in a 'normal healthy' person, nothing really untoward. Both antibodies negative, but of course one negative result doesn't rule out Hashi's, you'd need a few as they could have just been tested when not active.
These are what need looking at
Vitamin B12 -228 140-724.00
There should also be a folate result. B12 and folate work together. As B12 is low, I wouldn't be surprised if folate is too, it should be at least half way through it's range.
B12 below 500 can cause neurological problems.
Check out the signs and symptoms of B12 Deficiency in these lists
If folate is low and your son has any of the signs and symptoms, then pop over to the Pernicious Anaemia Society forum here on Health Unlocked for further advice, posting all the information plus ferritin level. Some kind of B12 supplement is needed but it depends on the other factors.
You can buy D3 as softgels and sprays as well as tablets. My suggestion would be to take 5000iu daily for 3 months then retest. When the recommended level is reached a maintenance dose is needed, maybe 2000iu daily, maybe less in summer, we all need to find our own maintenance dose then retest once or twice a year to keep within the recommended range, adjusting dose if necessary.
When supplementing with D3, there are important cofactors needed
D3 aids absorption of calcium from food and K2-MK7 directs the calcium to bones and teeth where it is needed and away from arteries and soft tissues where it can be deposited and cause problems.
D3 and K2 are fat soluble so should be taken with the fattiest meal of the day.
Magnesium comes in different forms, check here to see which would be most suitable and as it's calming it's best taken in the evening.

Ferritin 95.57 30.00-400.00
Ferritin should be half way through it's range so aim for 215. Eating liver once a week, maximum 200g, will help raise ferritin, along with including as many iron rich foods as possible
Hi - if your son isn't on any thyroid medication then his tests show that he is actually euthyroid or "normal", with anti-body levels that do not indicate Hashis. This does not rule out that he may devlop it in the future. What he does have, however, is a reasonably bad vit D deficiency and suspiciously low vit b12 - anything under 500 can cause neurological issues. Sorting out these deficiencies (see any other threads on Vitamins and Minerals for detailed specific advice on similar levels) may well help him feel a lot better.
Underlying this is why he has these deficiencies. If he is not strict vegetarian/vegan then it looks as if he may have an absorption problem. A common cause of this heard regularly in this group is an intolerance of gluten which can cause all sorts of nasty knock-on effects.
Would also be worth getting full blood count as this will indicate B12/Folate deficiency and show how bad it is sometimes. Also worth doing to check full blood count to check for iron anaemia as ferritin can be misleading and B12/Folate deficiency will cause a higher ferritin level.
If it turns out just B12 that is low, then figuring out why would also be useful - has he had gas and air anesthetic/operation recently as will deplete B12 levels, Pernicious anaemia should be tested for as would need ongoing B12 treatment or is he vegan/vegetarian?
If he has folate/iron deficiency on top or other on going digestive issues (often diagnosed as IBS) or just continued fatigue, looking into why would be useful and food intolerances/ stomach/absorption issues looked into - things like gluten intolerance/coeliacs or other stomach issues.
He's also suffers with kidney stones and has been rushed to hospital at least 3 times in the last couple of years the present one being a couple of months ago. He did have a big operation 6 years ago when he was stabbed and nearly lost his life. It's since tge n thst his health has slowly deteriorated
