A fingerprick virgin . One finger , one Lancet and whoosh Niagara Falls . I could weep when I think of all the money I have paid to the Spire for BH blood tests because I though I couldn't do the fingerprick . Medi - checks results back in 24hrs .

Can you please advise on results . I am taking 3grains NDT .

Tsh 0.005. (0.27 - 4.20 )

Free thyroxin 20.5 (12.00 -22.00 )

Total " " T4. 121 (59.00- 154.00 )

Free t3 7.01. (3.10 - 6.80 )

Thyroglobulin antibodies 11.400. (0.00 - 115.00)

Thyroid peroxidase. 23.4 (00.00 - 34.00 )

Folate 8.98. (2.91 - 50.00 )

Ferritin. 49.2. (30.00 - 400.00 )

I'm surprise at the level of t4 and I see I am over for t3.

Can anyone comment please . Sorry about the messy post , I must learn to cut and paste 😣 TIA Pp

Your free T3 is a little high isn't it? Ferritin seems a little on the low side. People usually say half way through range is better. No vitamin D or B12?

Ok. well keep an eye on your D so you don't go over or under. Vitamin D is not water soluble so you can overdose on it and you don't want to be deficient either! Folate is a little low. Do you take a B multivitamin alongside your B12 treatment? If so, check that the folate is in the form of methylfolate as that's more absorbable.
