Blood results

[Craigmhor39]

I took advice and used Medichecks!

Due to symptoms my go advised me to supplement on top of my b12 shot I will be stopping this due to results.

I have Normal levels of folate and bit D but thinking this will be because again I supplement.

Can anyone help me make any sense of the rest?

Your copy looks blurred to me, could you photo again and edit post?

It looks like your FT4, Total T4 and FT3 are all low. Your TSH is a bit high.

Looks like you have raised Thyroid Peroxidase which indicates Hashimoto's Autoimmune Thyroiditis.

Is your Vitamin D result 16 or 34?

If you can't edit photo could you type these results and ranges in?

Have you discussed these with your doctor yet? What dose Levothyroxine were you on when tests done? Have you enquired about an increase?

Craigmhor39,

I think you are undermedicated to have TSH 2.07 with low in range FT4 and FT3. Ask your GP to increase dose.

The goal of Levothyroxine is to restore the patient to euthyroid status. For most patients that will be when TSH is 0.27 - 1.0 with FT4 in the upper range but some patients will need TSH lower in order to achieve sufficient FT4. FT4 needs to be in the upper range in order that sufficient T3 is converted. Read Treatment Options in thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/about_... Email [e-mail] if you would like a copy of the Pulse article to show your GP.

Thyroid peroxidase antibodies are positive for autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's). There is no cure for Hashimoto's which causes 90% of hypothyroidism. Levothyroxine treatment is for the low thyroid levels it causes. Many people have found that 100% gluten-free diet is helpful in reducing Hashi flares, symptoms and eventually antibodies.

Active B12 is high. If you are having injections you can stop supplementing in addition.

Folate is optimal halfway through range so I would continue supplementing.

VitD is replete but I would continue supplementing to maintain level until April. Take vitD 4 hours away from Levothyroxine.

Ferritin is optimal halfway through range. You can raise ferritin by supplementing iron with 1,000mg vitamin C which aids absorption and minimises constipation. Take iron 4 hours away from levothyroxine.

CRP is an inflammation marker. Yours is over range which indicates inflammation somewhere in the body. Perhaps your GP will do a full blood count.
