Undiagnosed then under treated - the story for so many of us

[tzracer]

I guess the graph shows how the system isn't working.

6 years of fatigue and the Doctor ignoring (because you're IN RANGE) until you properly break, then not enough Levothyroxine to make you well. In desperation you finally find the forum and some answers and lots of people in the same boat.

Thanks to all that contribute

Familiar story tzracer but it does show how the system is letting people down and making them suffer needlessly.

How strange that the result showing <0.05 is not marked "Abnormal" yet the one marked "0.05", which in effect is higher than <0.05, is!

[Scazzoh in reply to SeasideSusie]

Could it be because the first test shows 'less than' 0.05 (<), which looks like a false result to me? They should have contacted Tzracer for a repeat test.

[SeasideSusie Remembering in reply to Scazzoh]

Not sure Scazzoh.

Some of my results show <0.005

(that's with Medichecks) - I think that must be the lowest their machine can actually give a measurement for, I've had 0.007 sometimes from them which makes me go "Woo hoo!"

Blue Horizon shows <0.01

GP tests show <0.02

So with mine it's obviously the different machines have different lower limits.

With the OP's picture, I'm assuming it's the same lab that's done all the tests, yet 12th October doesn't show "Abnormal" but is lower than the January one which does, but 12th October doesn't give a range.

I really should stop taxing my brain though, it gives me a headache

The October tests were done at the hospital endo appt. May have gone to a different lab, but I doubt it my doctor's is 7 miles from hospital. I think it might be the computer is confused because there are no ranges on any of the last hospital tests.
