Interpreting results

[happyrock]

Hi there... new to all of this.

Results - TSH - 3.96 T3 -4.6 T4 - 13.83 Reverse T3 -119 ATG - 334 ATP -6 TRB .3

So been told to talk to my doctor about hashimotos... looking for information about the high ATG levels. I am exhausted, forgetful and have every known symptom. Also chronic sleep apneoa which doesn't help. So confused.. just want to feel better and be ready to ask the right questions when I see the doctor.

Thanks in advance!

Hi happyrock & welcome to the forum. So members can advise on your results, you need to put the ranges in brackets after each reading, as labs vary with testing. Have you had any vitamin tests? Do you take any supplements?

So many people have similar symptoms, so you will get lots of great advice here. It’s important to optimise essential vitamins (after testing) to see what you need to supplement.

Sleep apnea is linked to Hashimoto's

Are you on Levothyroxine? Or trying to get diagnosed?

Ask GP to test vitamin D, folate, B12 and ferritin

These are frequently too low when we have Hashimoto's. Testing first before starting any specific vitamin supplements for low levels

Your TPO (ATP) antibodies are negative . But TG antibodies are high. It's more difficult to get diagnosed with Hashimoto's if you only have high TG Antibodies
