Please would you lovely people take a look at my latest results. Is there anything I need to tweak? Would someone be kind enough to change the measurement on the Folate to ug/L. B12 to ng/L. Ferritin to ng/L. as I would like to compare to my gp bloods. I’ve been quite unwell for few months & can’t get to the bottom of it. Have had very high bp & have symptoms of B12 deficiency. Your feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

How much levothyroxine are you currently taking

Do you always get same brand levothyroxine at each prescription

Looking at previous posts, you had dose reduced a while ago

How much levothyroxine were you on and how much was dose reduced

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking

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

Hello slowdragon. Thanks for your response. At the moment, I’m only taking Vit d. My b12 was dropping so thought it best to stop supplementing in case I need testing for pernicious anaemia. I’m currently taking 62.5 of levo. Used to be on 50 for 4 days & 75 for 3. I tried to increase the 50 up to 75 & after a month, became unwell. Think it was auto immune attack. My tsh was 0.03 & t4 way over & I felt so anxious & nervous. I had to slowly reduce it down until I felt well & then very slowly increase again & 62.5 is where I ended up feeling ok. This test was done 7.45am & no levo for 24 hrs. Always have some brand. Not sure if I can chance another increase as concerned about the last time. Do you think I need to or do figures look ok? Many thanks

B12 - To convert from pmol/L to ng/L multiply 453pmol/L by 1.355
