I have had a blood test by Medicheck and would like some advice as to the results, please. The test was done fasting, 8 hours after last dose of NDT. Compared to my blood test results in August, I seem to have improved, thanks to your advice. I am currently taking 1 1/4 grain of NDT, I tried taking 1 1/2 grains, but my heart started to thump very unpleasantly, so I reduced by 1/4 grain. I am feeling great, never felt better and my polymyalgia seems to be receding.
Here are the results :
Ferritin 78.6 ug/L range 13-150
Folate 10.43 ug/L >3.89
Vitamin B12 active 98.1 mol/L range 50-175
TSH 3.87 flu/L range 0.27-4.2
Free T3 5.73 pmol/L range 3.1-6.8
Free Thyroxine 13 pool/L range 12-22
Thyroglobulin antibodies 16.6 klu/L <115
Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies 9.93 flu/L <34
My ferritin was very high in August, but seems to have settled back to normal levels. I have never taken iron supplements and eat very little red meat, so have no idea why it was so high.
Thank you so much for your advice, it is crucial for me as I self-medicate, as my doctor is clueless.
