Thyroid function results

Hi, after having TSH as high as 5.9 and lots of symptoms, including inability to lose weight, I’m surprised that my medichecks results have come back normal.

Looking at previous posts, you have recently had iron infusion. So iron levels presumably still good

What about vitamin D, folate, B12 levels

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking

Presumably this test was done early morning before eating or drinking anything other than water

What’s your diet like?

Ft4 is rather low in range

Hi Slowdragon, am doing a finger prick test for vitamins on Monday. I didn’t take any medication, had a fasting blood draw at 7.45am. We eat a fairly good diet, always cooked from scratch and loads of vegetables. I take Adcal-D3 1500 mg twice a day and have been taking vitamin C.

Antibodies don't suggest Hashi's but is possible to have that without raised antibodies.

How are your nutrient levels now?

Hi Suzie, I’ve ordered a finger prick test and will be doing that on Monday morning. My last ferritin results after iron infusion were 544. [>300] I’m still feeling rotten, breathless after walking, hair falling out weight gain and just not the energetic person I was.
