They didn't test your TPO antibodies

Have you had vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 tested

If you can't get full thyroid and vitamin testing from GP

Medichecks Thyroid plus ultra vitamin or Blue Horizon Thyroid plus eleven are the most popular choice. DIY finger prick test or option to pay extra for private blood draw. Both companies often have money off offers. DIY finger prick test or option to pay extra for private blood draw or

All thyroid tests should be done as early as possible in morning and fasting and don't take Levo in the 24 hours prior to test, delay and take straight after. This gives highest TSH and most consistent results

I rang them and my TPO is negative

You have a suppressed TSH level judging by this and your previous tests - and, in the absence of taking thyroid hormones, this would typically be associated with hyperthyroidism but your FT4 and FT3 levels are low or normal within their reference ranges whereas hyperthyroidism would typically see you with high-normal or high levels of both of those.

It's a zebra - but unless there's information that your GP has that hasn't been mentioned, why have you not been evaluated for central hypothyroidism which is a potentially better match for your results (crudely speaking)? endocrinologyadvisor.com/en...

I'll be interested to see what other members suggest.

I dont take any thyroid hormones and my TPO is negative. My TSH has always been in low range which dr thinks its normal i have another app 2nd Nov

[ITYFIALMCTT in reply to Nat89]

Are you going to ask why your GP doesn't think you need an evaluation to rule out central hypothyroidism?

That aside, have you ever had any vitamin and mineral results and, if so, can you post them alongside their reference ranges, please?

[Nat89 in reply to ITYFIALMCTT]

No i haven't had those tests before. I will ask though

[ITYFIALMCTT in reply to Nat89]

It might be helpful to get your minerals and vitamin levels.

I should say that your results might be entirely normal for you because of individual variation but it's difficult to know. You might find the discussion in this to be of some interest to you: healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...
