Slowly getting somewhere

So my TSH level went from 0.35 in May to 0.05 in June and then up to 12.4 in July. Have seen a specialist and she suspects Thyroiditis so I'm having regular blood tests over the next 6 months to see what happens. Feel awful. Just wish it was all confirmed and diagnosed so I can get some treatment. Have uploaded my latest blood test results. Had more blood taken after I saw the specialist for TSHR AB , TPO AB plus the usual FBC, U&E and LFT. Will keep you all updated.

Your TSH is way over range and your free T4 is under range - should be getting a prescrition for levo. It would be a good idea to get antibodies (TPO and TG) tested as I suspect you have Hashimotos (what your GP would call autoimmune thyroiditis) which can cause levels to fluctuate wildly as your thyroid is destroyed and therefore dumps excess hormone into the bloodstream (as shown in May and June).

I had the TPO blood test done after my appointment, I don't know why she is leaving it up to 6 months to put me on medication, I looked up Hashimotos and the end result of that is life long levo so why wait? But there you go, that is what is happening. I will keep updating as I have each blood test done. I just want to feel human again.
