Hi - and welcome to the forum. You'll have to clarify please, what result was 13 should be 30? Was it ft4? Ask your GPs receptionist for a print-out of your results (you are legally entitled to these) and then post here with ranges. They should look something like TSH 3.2 (0.4-4.2). Any that you can find from the following would be useful - TSH, ft4, ft3,TpoAb,TgAb, vit d, vit b12, folate, ferritin.

Without these any advice would be just a guess.

A good place to start and learn about all of this is our parent website Thyroiduk.org
