Hi can anyone check these quickly for a friend

Hi my friend feeling constantly tired but can’t work iPad to post herself

if anyone could take a look on her results please thanks

Well, her TSH is too high, but not high enough to interest a doctor. She really should get her FT4 and FT3 tested, because they could be low.

Can't say anything about the rest, because there's no ranges.

Thanks very much greygoose

You're welcome.

For full Thyroid evaluation she needs TSH, FT4, FT3 plus TPO and TG thyroid antibodies and also very important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12

Thyroid antibodies need testing

Low vitamin levels can cause symptoms in their own right or can be due to thyroid

Private tests are available. Thousands on here forced to do this as NHS often refuses to test FT3 or antibodies or vitamins

Medichecks Thyroid plus ultra vitamin or Blue Horizon Thyroid plus eleven are the most popular choice. DIY finger prick test or option to pay extra for private blood draw. Both companies often have money off offers.

All thyroid tests should ideally be done as early as possible in morning and fasting. This gives highest TSH and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip, GP will be unaware)

If antibodies are high this is Hashimoto's, (also known by medics here in UK more commonly as autoimmune thyroid disease).

About 90% of all hypothyroidism in Uk is due to Hashimoto's. Low vitamins are especially common with Hashimoto's. Food intolerances are very common too, especially gluten. So it's important to get TPO and TG thyroid antibodies tested at least once .
