Wayne: your TSH is only slightly above the recommended 1 we want to see. Your free T3 could afford be a bit higher... But your folate and Vit D are very low! This is likely due to absorption issues (almost all of us have them with thyroid). So if we don't have our nutrient levels at "optimum" our body will continue to struggle to convert that T3 we need from our daily dose. And our poor nutrient levels will also make us feel like (pardon the expression) crap 💩!! I'm rather curious to see your ferritin level sky-rocket high tho and wonder if you are over supplementing there?
I'd really recommend you do some serious reading on nutrient supplementing and get to understand the necessity it is for us to get it right
Good luck with that 😏 Your average GP won't have a clue about nutrients and the requirements for thyroid patients. You've already stated being "frustrated with your doctor". And I understand your reluctance to embrace the necessity for us to take the reins after being left hanging by mainstream healthcare. By the time we arrive at this site we are often weak and unable to move forward it seems. If you have the means consider going to the thyroid UK site and click on "contact us". They supply a list of thyroid friendly private docs on request.
Take a look at this post(s) and read the reply. It discusses at how to deal with the Vit D deficiency with the required loading dose. (Again your GP neglected to discuss this with you).
