A bit to fuzzy to read properly. Can you type the results and ranges.

Thanks for your response. I think I'll have to give up now, I'm going from bad to worse, haha

Your CRP is high, indicating inflammation.

But your ferritin is a bit low at 56.7 (?) (13-150), would be better at 100.

Your TSH is much too high at 6.13. Are you on thyroid hormone replacement? If so, you need an increase in dose. If not, you are hypo, but unlikely to get a diagnosis because the NHS likes it to reach 10 first!

Your FT4 is bottom of the range at 12.00 (12-22), but your FT3 is at a decent level at 5.19 (3.1-6.8) because the high TSH is pushing conversion.

Your TPO antibodies are high at 445 (<115), meaning you have Hashi's.

It says your B12 is high at 569, but I wouldn't worry about that. Are you supplementing?

Your Folate is low at 8.31(8.85-60) so that needs supplementing. If you were supplementing B12, weren't you taking a B complex?

Hope I've read all this right. So, what was your question? :)

Thank you. I have been diagnosed with fibro, CRP levels always been high, but my GP will never refer to rheumatologist as "it's my age, or I'm making too much fuss over nothing". Never heard of Hashis until now. I'll make an appointment to see her, but daresay I'll be fobbed off again with a wait and see as I have been for past two years. Thanks again.

I very much doubt you have fibro. That's the lazy doc diagnosis. You have Hashi's/hypo and low ferritin. That's what's causing your symptoms. Your TSH is well over-range, and together with the high antibodies means you should be treated. Tell you doc to check the NICE 'guidelines'. She knows nothing about thyroid.

Not what you're looking for?
