Confused by thyroid test results

Hi. I’ve had my TSH & T4 re-checked as both were on low side when tested in May. One GP, seeing them in May, given my symptoms, wanted to refer me to endocrinologist, but was overruled & told results were normal. Had them re-checked last week & both still at low end.

My ferritin was also low in May, but has gone up a bit (had 3 months of iron prescribed) - but I’ve GP said it should be 61 and it’s only 30 (was 15).

B12 folate was low in May too, but told it’s ok now

With the online searching I have done I’m more confused, and considering a private endocrinologist (but not working). Still exhausted, hair falling out, weight worst it’s been.

TSH - May 0.37 mU/L

Nov - 0.69 mU/L

T4 - May 11.1 pmol/L

Nov 12.1 pmol/L

Ferritin - May 16 ug/L

Nov 31 ug/L

B12 folate - May 2.0 ug/L

July 2.9 ug/L

Nov 3.4 ug/L

Can you please add the reference ranges for your results (often in brackets by the result). Ranges vary from lab to lab so we need your lab's ranges to interpret your results.
