You can add one picture to your opening post in a thread. Make sure there are no personal details showing (name, date of birth, etc) and ensure that that it's clear and readable, too small or blurry and it won't be possible to see it properly.

If you need to type any in then we just need, eg (made up numbers used as an example) :

TSH: 2.5 (0.2-4.2)

FT4: 16 (12-22)

Vit D: 76nmol/L

Active B12: 100 (37.5-188) or

B12: 600pg/ml (xxx - yyy)

etc...

As you are taking T3 as well as Levothyroxine then it's essential to test TSH, FT4 and FT3 together

TSH is almost always suppressed (i.e. Very very low) when taking any T3

Recommended on here that all thyroid blood tests should ideally be done as early as possible in morning and before eating or drinking anything other than water .

Last dose of Levothyroxine 24 hours prior to blood test. (taking delayed dose immediately after blood draw).

This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip, best not mentioned to GP or phlebotomist)

If/when also on T3, make sure to take last dose 8-12 hours prior to test, even if this means adjusting time and splitting of dose day before test

Is this how you do your tests?

Can you add results and ranges for

Vitamin D

Folate

Ferritin

B12

What vitamin supplements do you currently take?

Look through old historic test results for thyroid antibodies test results
