Hello, I am going to post my recent blood test results and would appreciate your thoughts and advice please. My last results approx 4 months ago were:
TSH
4.69 mU/L [0.35 - 5.5]
FREE T4
17.4 pmol/L [10.5 - 21.0]
Please note change to free T4 reference range.
FREE T3
3.9 pmol/L [3.5 - 6.5]
This was on 100mcg. I then upped to 100 -125mcg on alternate days. After my recent results and discussion with Dr I have upped to 125mcg daily. This was just over a week ago. I have been on holiday and unable to seek advice before now! I took Thyroxine in the morning the day before the test and fasted for about 10 hours. My Dr says the results confirm Hashimoto's. He also said not to worry about a low lymphocyte count, this is common and often fluctuates. I'm not sure why this was tested in the first place. Both my TSH and T4 seem to have gone down and my T3 stayed the same. Please advise! The main reason for wanting to get my dose right is to lose a very stubborn stone (or 2) in weight and to hopefully improve tiredness, occasional brain fog and stiffness. I don't think my symptoms are that bad though compared to what I read on here. I am on Teva too. I don't think this is having any adverse reactions but could see if I can change brand when I am due a new prescription. I am interested to know if I should also be taking supplements. I currently take Selenium with Zinc and Vit D+K2 spray. I was taking Magnesium with B vits but haven't replaced when ran out. My B12 was tested this time around. My Ferritin from before was 50.8 ug/L [10.0 - 291.0] and my Vit D 76.1 nmol/l. I haven't had Folate done but can ask when I get my next test in September/October. I really appreciate any help and advice you can give. Thank you!
