Can anyone understand these readings have no ranges go by I was over but now believe I'm under but not started meds yet consultant wants wait and see I've stopped beta blockers.
Tsh 8.16
Ft4 12.2
Crp 1.7
Esr 9
Ck 52
Tpo still slightly positive
Tb11 still elevated
Just read from letter I received I also have groitre and have graves disease apparently from having baby.. thanks
Flowerpotgirl,
TSH 8.16 indicates primary hypothyroidism. Is this the first time TSH has been abnormal?
I need to see the lab ref ranges to interpret the other results. Always ask for the lab ref ranges because results are meaningless without them.
I think TBII may be the Graves test. healthboards.com/boards/thy... It's not uncommon to have Graves and Hashimoto's in tandem but it looks as though Hashimoto's is dominant as you have become hypothyroid. thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/about_...
TPO slightly positive is positive. 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.

Thank u it's all new to me trying understand that was letter from hospital no ranges. They don't really explain to u. I still feel rotten a lot can't do what normally can do very frustrating and annoying.
Do u know if groiter will ever go itself? Consultant didn't seem concerned by it but had cough for months and breathless etc
Sorry tsh was 40 odd then went 23 before Christmas
Flowerpotgirl,
Goitre might shrink a little if you were given Levothyroxine but is unlikely to disappear. I really don't understand why someone with TSH 40, 23 and 8.6 is not prescribed Levothyroxine.
I know the doctor said wud be prescribed something got me into consultant quicker for follow up app but he said it was mild by thyroid levels, I told him all my symptoms still have them even tho he thought was beta blockers my legs really ache constant tiredness that gets me I struggle go out on night I don't in bed early each night don't do much all effort. Feel dizzy times. I'm seeing consultant again march bloods took again then thanks
