Hi Wendy so sorry to hear how poorly you are feeling. I’m new on here and I’m sure you will get lots of good support and advice from fellow members. I did yesterday, Sending you a gentle hug, your not alone 🙏🏻 X

Suppressed TSH didn't cause your pain, because TSH doesn't make you feel anything. It T3 that causes symptoms when it's either too low or too high. Your FT3 is too low, so yes, you do need T3, you don't convert very well - not well enough. Have you never considered buying your own?

There's no such thing as 'normal' when it comes to blood test results. It just means 'in-range'. But, the ranges are vast. Do you have the actual numbers?

[wendypartridge in reply to greygoose]

thank you greygoose my t3 -3.4 (02.5) t4 -16 (9-20) tsh -0.72(0.3.0 -5)

[greygoose in reply to wendypartridge]

No, I meant the numbers for you nutrient tests.

[wendypartridge in reply to greygoose]

vit b12 484 (180-900)

folate 3.8 (3.00-20)

calcuim 2.42(2,20-2.60) he told me vit d was normal

[greygoose in reply to wendypartridge]

Your calcium is OK.

Your B12 could be higher - best at least over 500.

Your folate is pretty dire.

Do you not have a number for the vit D? I wouldn't take his word for it! And what about ferritin?

[wendypartridge]

vit d 700 no ferritin , gray goose what can i do ??

[wendypartridge]

the fact you tell people not to RAI is not useful to me at all , I can not understand why you would write such a comment when you know i am suffering . Please tell me when did you get your Phd
