Help with new results

[squirl9462]

Hi all,I've just got the results from my latest private tests. It seems to me that my thyroid is struggling a bit more but still nowhere near bad enough for the NHS to help

TSH 4.35 (0.27-4.2)

FT4 14.8 (12-22)

FT3 4.47 (3.1-6.8)

Testosterone 0.596 (0-1.8)

Oestradiol <18.4 (post-memo <183)

Cortisol waking 9.36 (6-21)

12 noon 2.12 (1.5-7.6)

4pm 1.8 (0-5.49)

Bedtime <1.5 (0-1.99)

I posted the cortisol results earlier today and thanks to Seaside Susie I think I might have bought the wrong test and should have gone with a different company as there is no DHEA and the result for the bedtime test doesn't give enough information.However any help and advice you lovely knowledgeable people can give me would be hugely appreciated.

I've got and appointment with an endocrinologist next week and am fully expecting he'll be no help at all so am fully prepared to go it alone after I see him.

I am determined to get my mojo back somehow!

I look forward to your words of wisdom, thank you in anticipation...

Squirl9462,

It may be worth showing your GP the results. TSH is over range so GP may want to retest in 2-3 months and if it is still over range should commence treatment.

I can't advise on cortisol and sex hormones other than to say that they're all within range.
