Think I am hypothyroid

[kay79879]

These are my results

TSH 1.37

Free T4 14.3

T4 89

T3 4.34

I have looked on the uk thyroid website and I can tick many of the symptoms of being Hypothyroid. Also have taken my temperatures. Lowest 34.9 and highest 35.8 which both seem on the low side. I have been back and forth to my normal GP and just get told everything is fine as TSH is normal so I am thinking about self medicating on metavive- any thoughts?

Can we have the reference ranges for your results please, they should be in brackets after the result, eg

TSH 2.5 (0.2-4.2)

Ranges vary from lab to lab so we the ranges from your lab.

Were thyroid antibodies tested as well?

Well, your results are euthyroid (normal) although FT4 is on the lowish side. However, as we are never tested when fit and well, none of us where our "normal" levels are. As symptoms of nutrient deficiencies can be similar to symptoms of hypothyroidism, I think the next step is to test

Vit D

B12

Folate

Ferritin
