Need Help- what do I do now

4 Replies

I have been complaining of what I felt was hypothyroid symptoms for over a year now. Last time I had my results done (in the afternoon) I was told everything was in range and normal. A year on and I feel no better so my GP said she would test them again. I knew they wouldn't test T3 or antibodies so I organised to have these done myself through an online company. My results are as follows:

TSH 2.31 (.27-4.2)

Free thyroxine 15.7 (12-22)

Total T4 81.4 (59-154)

Free T3 5.35 (3.10-6.8)

TgAb: 13.2 (0-115)

TPO: 11.5 (0-34)

I am absolutely gutted to find that these are normal purely because of the symptoms I have and there is a family history on both sides. Now I have to go back the drawing board and I have no idea what to do. I'm so tired all the time I don't feel like I am living a life and I am so shocked that they came back this normal even when tested at 6:30 in the morning.

Would love some advice or comments.

Thanks.

Thyroid results are in the normal range but what about vitamin levels. Have you had blood tests for iron or B12, folate, vitamin D deficiencies? Ask your GP to check things out.

I had them all checked last year:

B12 442= 180-2000

Vit D=46 (lowest range was 50).

Ferritin= 92 15-200

Folate= 5.5 2.8-20

I am due bloods on the 16th and I need to find out what these include.

Follow up the new bloods. Are you saying your vitamin D is below range, if so, that could be your problem. Good luck.
