Hi Assyia
These results are not clear enough to read fully and don't appear to have the normal ranges.
Could you put them in again please with ranges and dates of tests?
One result I could see is TSH. Is the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone result 17.5 ?
This is too high. With the correct dose of Thyroxine or Levothyroxine it should eventually come down . It needs to be maximum of 2 to protect your Pituitary Gland from over working by producing too much.
Is that 25mcg Thyroxine you are taking? Why were you put on this low dose? Were you given a reason?
This is not enough. Usually 50mcg would be the starting dose and you would soon have another test then an increase up to 75mcg. This retesting and increasing dose every 6 to 8 weeks should continue until your blood tests results improve and your symptoms abate.
The aim of Thyroxine / Levothyroxine is to restore Euthyroid status (normal Thyroid status).
So, how are you feeling? Do you still have symptoms?
Ideally you need FreeT3 and FreeT4 testing.
Helpful to test Thyroid Antibodies also - TPO and Tg.
I see that you have had Vitamin B12 and D tested. Can't read Vitamin B12 result - might be a bit low. Vitamin D doesn't look too low. But you would really need to print these results and ranges again.
You could also ask for Folate and Ferritin to be tested.
Thanks Mary for your apply. It was the first time the doctor described medicine for my thyroid, I had to get back after a month which I did. I 'll have the results begin this week God willing.

I be edities the picture , jouw it is more clear.
Your results are clear and can easily be read now, but unfortunately there are no reference ranges so none of your results can be interpreted. Reference ranges vary from lab to lab, country to country, so we need the ranges. And B12/Vit D also need the units of measurement as these can also be different.
The only result that it's possible to comment on is TSH, most ranges anywhere don't go above 5. For both dates your TSH is high and your August TSH is higher than the previous one.
When did you start your Thyrax?
It is now 6 months later than those tests were done, you need retesting for your thyroid.
Yes these are my main healthissues, probably I used a wrong spelling.
