Thyroid blood results

[Mariah24]

This is what my primary doctor has done blood work for

Ferritin-67 range between 15 and 150

Vitamin D- 16 which is low started on 50,000mgs of D3 to return levels to normal

Vitamin b12 585 range between 232 and 1,245

TSH 1.230 range between 0.450 and 4.500

T4F 3.7 range between 2.0 and 4.4

T4 1.47 range between 0.82 and 1.77

Thyroid peroxidase 14 range between 0 and 34

I also took slow dragons advice and am doing the full blood panel for thyroid on medicheck website.

Hi can you post the ranges after your results? I would also request for a full iron panel as well.

[Mariah24 in reply to JennaShi]

Iron panel came back normal also iron storages came back normal as well.

Hey there again, sorry, I can't comment on above - I am still with my " L " plates on ! but you are in the right place and will need to start reading up whether it be an overactive or underactive thyroid issue, if that is what is eventually diagnosed. If you are with an autoimmune condition, your doctor should establish this fact with blood tests for specific antibodies. I know it is difficult, emotional, physically, psychologically and mentally, you can be like a loose cannon - it's ok, things will balance out once you have a diagnosis and on some level of medication. In the meantime, be kind to yourself, acknowledge you are not well and have done the right thing by seeking help through the doctor, who has the ability to get the correct blood test actioned immediately to identify " what is going on " - from memory I got signed off for a week or two, prescribed Carbimazole and returned to work when I felt more able. This site is your " go to " for all things - there are amazing people here who will know the correct procedure - be able to read your bloods and explain in ordinary words what to do, what comes next. Hang fire, 'til we know the right bloods have been taken and the results tell the full story rather than just the preface.

If it is Graves - from one to another - Stop beating yourself up ! Be kind to yourself !

Take good care, and keep us posted.

Can you add the ranges please, all labs have different ones

Assuming Vitamin D is measured in nmol then your vitamin D was extremely low. Presumably now prescribed loading dose by GP

Read up about importance of magnesium and vitamin K2 Mk7 supplements too when on high dose vitamin D

Eg

articles.mercola.com/sites/...

Masses of posts about both on here

I would wait ideally at least 4-8 weeks into loading dose of vitamin D before doing the Medichecks blood test to give that time to take effect

vitamin D should be a lot better. Been off high dose for a couple of weeks now. Now doctor wants me on 4000 supplement for life every day. How long should I wait to do medi check blood test for?

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Mariah24]

How long did you take high dose for?

Good that GP recognises you will need supplements long term.

Have you had vitamin D retested by GP?

Vits etc being optimal is so important and yet many doctors shun them. Mine said to stop taking them, I ignored her, but a few weeks back she asked which tests would I like doing! One thing I've noticed though is she does try to find advice about things she doesn't talk about! So big step forward!
