So looking at recent posts ...you just stopped block and replace treatment

healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

When were these thyroid results done?

After this or before?

You will need thyroid levels retested in 6-8 weeks to see if stable

Currently TSH is good

Ft4 perhaps a bit high

Ft3 low

Poor conversion of Ft4 to Ft3....but that’s not surprising as your vitamin levels are terrible

B12 very deficient and see from previous posts you are starting on LOADING B12 injections this week

Have you had full testing for Pernicious Anaemia?

Are you vegetarian or vegan?

Folate is very low too

Supplementing a good quality daily vitamin B complex, one with folate in not folic acid may be beneficial.

chriskresser.com/folate-vs-...

B vitamins best taken in the morning after breakfast

Igennus Super B complex are nice small tablets. Often only need one tablet per day, not two. Certainly only start with one tablet per day after breakfast. Retesting levels in 6-8 weeks

Or Thorne Basic B or jarrow B-right are other options that contain folate, but both are large capsules

If you are taking vitamin B complex, or any supplements containing biotin, remember to stop these 7 days before any blood tests, as biotin can falsely affect test results

Ferritin is low. Ask GP for full iron panel test for anaemia

No vitamin D test

Ask GP or test here via NHS postal kit

Thanks for sorting it out ....

that test was done a few weeks after I stopped my block n replace.

I’m a pig ... love a bacon sandwich. Eat plenty of meat never really liked veg or fruit ever !

Love fish n chips eat lots of steak too

Don’t exercise with my back turned lazy in my old age after being stopped from working.

Never done gluten free

I know it’s no the wonder I ended up with a blown thyroid. Lol

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Billyboy2u]

there’s a wide range of Gluten free bread...not cheap and can take awhile to find the one you prefer

Many make OK or good toast

A good sandwich is a harder task.

Waitrose or M&S “Thins” are good.

Gluten free beer is very good ...wide choice

Recommend you get vitamin D tested ASAP

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Billyboy2u]

So if eating good levels of red meat ferritin levels ought to be better than this

Hopefully should improve now off block and replace

Low ferritin is common when hypothyroid

Can you also add the TSI antibodies test result....in original post...it looked like it was high ...this would confirm definitely Graves Disease

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Billyboy2u]

Think that means negative...but it’s not very clear

[Billyboy2u in reply to SlowDragon]

Larger than ?

[Billyboy2u in reply to SlowDragon]

It was 7.8 in 2019. Then 5.0

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Billyboy2u]

So it was positive for Graves in 2019 but looks negative now

[Billyboy2u in reply to SlowDragon]

Yes however the nurse that took my bloods couldn’t find or know what TSI was ? So to be honest don’t know if it was tested for as it wasn’t wrote on the sheet to test.

I think I’ve posted that too under this will make you laugh ...

[Billyboy2u in reply to SlowDragon]

I’m getting retested in 8 weeks I’ll see if the B12 helps. Most seem to be just in range so come up normal ?

[Billyboy2u]

Larger than ?

< = Less than !
