MediChecks results - are they okay?

[Bramble83]

Would love some thoughts / comments on my MediChecks results please.

Bit of background- I was diagnosed with primary adrenal insufficiency (Addison’s) at the start of this year and am on hydrocortisone, which makes me feel a million times better in myself although still quite tired

There are a few things though that niggle me and don’t seem to have improved with HC, so I decided to get everything checked...

I am permently freezing cold (morning temp is about 36.0-36.3), my hair comes out in handfuls, we’ve been trying for a family for 12 months with no luck but all tests have come back ‘normal’. My resting heart rate is also between 38 bpm and 42 bpm permently.

I decided to get a full check with MediChecks just to see how everything looks and see if it gave me any clues as to the above.

These were my results:

TSH 2.2 mIU/L (0.27-4.2)

FT4 15.3 pmol/L (12-22)

FT3 3.5 pmol/L (3.1-6.8)

TGAB 10 IU/mL (0-115)

TPOAB 9 IU/mL (0-34)

Ferritin 48 ug/L (13-150)

CRP-HS inflammation 4.74 mg/l (0-5)

Vitamin D 68 nmol/L (50-200)

Folate 19.98 ug/L (2.91-50)

All comments really appreciated 😀

Oh Bramble83 I did reply but my post seems to have disappeared? Perhaps I pressed the wrong button or it wasn't allowed.

Can't remember what I said now but I'm not knowlegable yet to pass comment but I'm sure others will be along to help.

I'm interested in any response as I'm being investigated for Addisons now as a result of having a private test done by the firm you mention.

Can't remember if we're allowed to print company names on here.

Your thyroid tests are all in the normal ranges so doctors will regard them as ok.

T3 is the active thyroid hormone which controls every cell and yours is in the bottom part of the normal range. Many people need their T3 in the higher part of the range to feel well. You are however unlikely to get a doctor to prescribe thyroid hormones.
