Hello Milkjug.

I'm a bit confused by your antibodies results, the lab ranges are different from the ones I'm used to. Is the range really from 0.00 to 115.00 for thyroglobulin antibody and likewise for Thyroid peroxidase antibodies, does the range start with zero?

Thyrod stim hormone. 0.016 -. 0.27 -4.20

Free thyroxine 10.09. -. 12 .00- 22.00

Free t3. 3.28 . 3.10 - 6.80

Thyroglobulin antibody. 50.600. 0.00. 115.00

Thyroid peroxidase Antbodies . 19.01. 0.00. 34.00

Your ferritin is definitely too low. Do you supplement? You could try liver once a week

Did you stop Levo 24 hours before and T3 12 hours before?

FT4 and TT4 both look too low, FT3 is also in lower half so could increase

You could increase one or the other first, then retest before considering increasing the other.

I think I would try increasing Levo first, but others may have different opinion

Yes I did stop t3 t4 24 hours before blood test. Also I do supplement Ferritin.

I'm confused. Are you Milkjug1 or Plantpot1?

[Plantpot12 in reply to greygoose]

Yes I do supplement with folate and vitamin d B12 injection also have a multivitiamin.and I did stop t4/t3 for 24hrs before.also private blood test said my t4 was to high and my t3 was to low.

Sorry, but you're answering the wrong person. I didn't comment on your B12. You need to click on the reply button under the comment that mentions B12, or the person won't know you've replied.

But, I will tell you that you are totally wasting your money by taking a multi-vitamin. It won't do anything to help you, for many reasons. If you are having B12 injections, what you need is a B complex, with just B vits in it, not a multi-vit.

[Plantpot12 in reply to greygoose]

sorry about that.and thanks .

[Plantpot12 in reply to greygoose]
