Hello, so I am starting to feel like a fraud. Please bear with me as it's a bit long: 3 months ago, after 4blood tests, the Dr finally said I have thyroid/antibody problem and prescribed 50mcg Levo. These were my results before:
c-reactive protein 10 (<5mg)
TSH 2.25, (0.35 - 5.5 mU/L)
Free T4 8.6, (7-17 pmol/L)
B12 150, (150-900ng/L)
Folate 2.7, (>3ug/L)
Thyroide peroxidase, Anti-TPO antibodies (IgG Ab) 46.2. (<9 U/ml)
Plasma viscosity 1.99 (1.5-1.72 mPa)
FSH 19,
LH 7
After 2 months on Levo my TSH has gone down to 2.19 and free T4 up to 11.3.
I posted elsewhere that I went back and asked for levo to be increased to 75 & was told she didn't want to do that as it might make me feel better! Left then but went back yesterday & told the receptionist that it needs increasing. A different Dr called me back last night and said again that he didn't want to increase it - because I don't have a thyroid problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (it's perimenopause, even though the symptoms are years old) Why then was I told otherwise & prescribed the Levo?? Then I asked about my viscosity - there was a sharp increase of breath & he said, 'oh yes that is a concern, much more so that thyroid. There's a note that you must get this looked at!' That test was 11th January, so if I hadn't got a print out last week I would never have known to ask. He's now going to do a full antibody screen. Could be coeliac disease or lupus. I just noticed my CRP was high too.
What do you think???
Your vitamin B12 looks very low. Yes, it's within range but it's at the very bottom of that range. And if you are thinking coeliac then that could be another reason for not absorbing an adequate amount of B12 from your diet.
Vitamin B12 deficiency -tiredness, lethargy, brain fog, pins and needles, depression, irritability
