Hi there hang on in there other people will comment who are more experiened to read your results. I was hyper back in july but now hypo- youre symptons are very much like mine but your bloods dont seem to indicate hyperlevels but i will leave that to more experienced people.good luck.😊
Your thyroid levels are euthyroid (normal). Thyroid peroxidase antibodies 28 is usually negative for autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's) but doesn't conclusively rule out Hashimoto's as some people have high thyroglobulin antibodies. You can order a private thyroid antibodies test via thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/testin...
I had similar hyper symptoms for months before swinging between hyper and hypo and it was purely due to Hashimoto's as my thyroid levels were euthyroid.
Ask your GP to check ferritin, vitamin D, B12 and folate. Joint pain is often due to vitamin D deficiency and numbness, usually in hands and feet can be due to B12/folate deficiency. Low ferritin/iron can cause irregular periods.
Has your GP done any other tests to check why heart rate is fast?
No you can't. A&E is for emergencies only. If your GP won't do the tests you want you can order them privately via thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/diagno... Blue Horizon Thyroid Plus 11 and Medichecks UltraVits include full thyroid panel, antibodies and vitamins and minerals.
Would strongly suspect you have very low vitamin levels
Have you had vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 tested? Post results and ranges if you have them or get them tested if not
Low vitamins stop thyroid hormones working. You then feel hyper but are actually hypo
Extremely common often due to low stomach acid
Always take Levo on empty stomach and then nothing apart from water for at least an hour after. Many take on waking, but it may be more convenient and possibly more effective taken at bedtime
Many people find Levothyroxine brands are not interchangeable. Once you find a brand that suits you, best to make sure to only get that one at each prescription.
For full evaluation you ideally need TSH, FT4, FT3, TT4, TPO and TG antibodies, plus vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 tested
See if you can get full thyroid and vitamin testing from GP. Unlikely to get FT3
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.
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, lowest FT4 and most consistent results
