I'm on 100mcg of levothyroxine daily
TSH.......0.17
T3...........4.4
T4...........14.4
B12..........690
Folate...... less than 3 - low I'm to go on folic acid tablets
The Dr said that I didn't need to decrease my levo dosage, even though the result is 0.17.
The Dr assured me all was ok....
Is it common to get low folate? Why?

We can only interpret results when reference ranges are given, ranges vary from lab to lab. If you would like members to comment on your results can you please add the ranges, usually in brackets, eg
TSH: 2.5 (0.2-4.2)
My folate was bottom of range with a good B12. Maybe you don't eat enough folate rich foods.

From yesterday's blood test:
TSH - 0.17 (0.30 - 4.20)
T3 - 4.4 I have no range for this test
T4 - 14.4 ( 9.0 - 19.0)
B12 - 690 ( 180 - 900)
Folate - less than 3 ( 3.0 - 20.00)
I have to take 1 folic acid tab now daily. My dr didn't want to reduce the levothyroxine.
I have been diagnosed with an under active thyroid in 2013.... it has all been very stable until the last 2 results!

Also need to test vitamin D and ferritin
Can you add ranges on these results
Do you have Hashimoto's also called autoimmune thyroid disease, diagnosed by high thyroid antibodies
