Can anyone help me with my blood results from Blue Horizon. I had them done as I am not feeling great, cannot sleep and am putting on weight. I am currently taking 150mg of Thyrovanz. Would I benefit in seeing a endocrinologist?
Thanking you in advance.
Hi there. Do you have any other symptoms? I have been unwell since may. I saw am endocrinologist due to very high thyroid peroxidase antibodies. He said I eill develop autoimmune thyroid disease in future but no indication of when. I am really struggling with extreme hot/cold intolerance too.

Presumably Thyrovanz is a thyroid glandular with unspecified amounts of T4 and T3?
If you were taking an NDT like Armour, Erfa or one of the Thai brands, one would expect TSH to be lower and FT3 to be higher and an increase in dose would most likely be suggested.
As for your vitamins:
Vit D is recommended to be 125nmol/L by the Vit D council and and the Vit D Society recommends a level between 100-150nmol/L. You should consider supplementing with D3 to raise your level. The Vit D Council recommends you take 3,700iu D3 daily to raise your current level to 125nmol/L. The nearest you can buy will be in multiples of 1000iu. Retest in 3 months. Once you've reached the recommended level then you'll need a maintenance dose which may be 2000iu daily, maybe more or less, maybe less in summer than winter, it's trial and error so it's recommended to retest once or twice a year to keep within the recommended range. You can do this with a private fingerprick blood spot test with an NHS lab which offers this test to the general public:
There are important cofactors needed when taking D3 as recommended by the Vit D Council -
vitamindcouncil.org/about-v...
D3 aids absorption of calcium from food and K2-MK7 directs the calcium to bones and teeth where it is needed and away from arteries and soft tissues where it can be deposited and cause problems such as hardening of the arteries, kidney stones, etc.
D3 and K2 are fat soluble so should be taken with the fattiest meal of the day, D3 four hours away from thyroid meds if taking tablets/capsules/softgels, no necessity if using an oral spray
Magnesium helps D3 to work. We need Magnesium so that the body utilises D3, it's required to convert Vit D into it's active form. So it's important we ensure we take magnesium when supplementing with D3.
Magnesium comes in different forms, check to see which would suit you best and as it's calming it's best taken in the evening, four hours away from thyroid meds if taking tablets/capsules, no necessity if using topical forms of magnesium.

Check out the other cofactors too (some of which can be obtained from food).
B12 at 338pmol/L = 458pg/ml. According to an extract from the book, "Could it be B12?" by Sally M. Pacholok:
"We believe that the 'normal' serum B12 threshold needs to be raised from 200 pg/ml to at least 450 pg/ml because deficiencies begin to appear in the cerebrospinal fluid below 550".
"For brain and nervous system health and prevention of disease in older adults, serum B12 levels should be maintained near or above 1000 pg/ml."
Folate should be at least half way through range, so 35+ with that range.
A good B Complex containing methylcobalamin and 400mcg methylfolate, such as Thorne Basic B or Igennus Super B, should raise
both your B12 and your folate level.
Ferritin isn't bad, it needs to be 70 for thyroid hormone to work properly, half way through range is recommended.
CRP is slightly high, it is a non-specific inflammation marker. However, raised ferritin is an indicator of inflammation and that isn't raised. It might be worth keeping an eye on your CRP, but as I said, it's only slightly over range.
Thank you so much I will try to digest all this information, I think I will go back on armour as I was better on it but had trouble getting it.
