Could tell me what you think of my lasted results please
TSH level 2.6miu/l 0.2 - 4
T4 level 21pmui/ 10-20
Folate level 2.8ngl/ml 5.4-24
B12 344ng/l 211-911
I am taking folic acid
And 100mg Levo
And I am gluten free for about 13 months
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
Is this how you did the test?
You're probably under medicated. TSH is normally best just under 1.
Likely poor converter as FT4 is high
There's no FT3 result or antibodies
Your B12 is too low
Your folate is dire.
Are you taking folic acid daily?
You probably need sublingual B12 and good vitamin B complex with folate in
There's no ferritin or vitamin D test results
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
Private tests are available

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.
I have Hashmotos I had private test about 18 moths ago and both was high one was in it,s thousands
Due to thyroid antibodies being present, you have an Autoimmune Thyroid Disease, commonly called Hashimoto's.

To help lower thyroid antibodies, going gluten-free can help by reducing the attack of the antibodies on your thyroid gland. You will eventually become hypothyroid but treatment is the same.
What,s hypothyroid mean please
Hypo - means low. Thyroid refers to our thyroid gland and when it reduces its output of hormones we begin to not feel too well and have symptoms and are diagnosed as being hypothyroid.
The 2 main thyroid hormones are T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). T3 and T4 regulate your body's temperature, metabolism and heart rate
If our body isn't producing sufficient thyroid hormones we begin to get clinical symptoms and our heart and brain need the most T3 as do the millions of T3 receptor cells in our bodies.
Levothyroxine is also called T4 and it has to convert to T3. T4 is an inactive hormone.
When went gluten free best I have felt for 2 years but after about 18 month gluten free starting to get ill again
