Advice on recent blood tests please.

[Carys21]

I've just had my results back from my thyroid blood test and it's not what I expected. I've been taking 150mg of Thyrovanz, based on this I think I should be taking nothing. I was diagnosed with Hashi's in 2016 and started taking Thyrovanz in 2018. Any advice gratefully received. BTW, I feel ok! I stopped all supplements except for the NDT 2 weeks before the blood test, it was taken fasting 12 hours after my last dose of Thyrovanz.

TSG <0.01

Free T3 is 8 (range is 3.1 - 6.8)

Free T4 is 27.1 (range is 12 - 22)

Thyroglobulin antibodies is 243 (upper limit is 115)

TPO antibodies is 187 (upper limit is 34)

CRP 0.9 (range 0 - 5)

Ferritin 146 (upper limit 150)

Folate 19.98 no upper limit

B12 147 (upper limit 165)

Vitamin D 110 (range is 50 - 200)

You could be having a Hashi's swing.

Your results show you could possibly reduce your Thyrovanz for now and retest in 6-8 weeks.

Nutrients are good.

What B Complex are you taking? B12 and Folate are very good, maybe reduce B Complex to a maintenance dose.

Are you supplementing iron?

Vit D is fine, it's recommended to be 100-150nmol/L if you wanted to achieve top of that range.

Thanks for your super speedy response 🥰 I was taking extra folate and B12 as they were both low 12 months ago so I will stop those now and go to a maintenance dose multi. Iron also was low last year, so I was taking solgar gentle iron 3 x a week - looks like I can stop that too. I do take a vitamin D capsule 3 x a week so I could increase that. I will drop my Thyrovanz by 50mg down to 100mg from today and see what it is in a couple of months. Thanks again.

Was test done as early as possible in morning before eating or drinking anything other than water and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test

I would reduce by less than that

Perhaps by 25mcg ...retest in 6-8 weeks

Hi there, the only thyroid med I take is 150mg of Thyrovanz, I've never had levothyroxine or any prescription for thyroid, the last dose was 13 hours before (6pm) and the test was done 7am in the morning before eating or drinking. I'll reduce by 25mg 😀
