Blood test results

[Notgivinin]

Hi , i opted to have my blood test done privately and with all the symptoms i have i was certain something would have shown up. i am thinking of taking armour to bring it down so i can get on top of the symptoms, my results are below and i have put the normal range in brackets.

TSH 3.45 (0.27-4.20)

T4 Total 105 (66-181)

Free T4 14.10 (12.0-22.0)

Free T3 4.29 (3.1-6.8)

Anti Thyroidperoxidase Abs 16.5 (<34)

Anti Thyroglobin Abs <10 (<115)

Any recommendations also of where to but them would be good. Thanks in advance.

Notgivinin,

TSH 3.45 means your thyroid gland is struggling and FT4 14.10 is low in range. FT3 4.29 isn't bad, fairly typical for someone not taking Levothyroxine.

Thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin antibodies are negative for autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's).

NHS won't diagnose hypothyroidism until TSH is over range or FT4 below range. Members not prepared to wait for a diagnosis have benefitted from selfmedicating but you will not be able to get NHS treatment for hypothyroidism in the future without coming off NDT for 6-8 weeks to demonstrate TSH or FT4 are abnormal.
