Could anyone please look at my latest results

These are my most recent thyroid blood results, would you say they are ok, currently taking 125mcg levothyroxine daily!

Most important question - how do you feel?

It would be helpful to have FT3 tested at the same time as TSH and FT4 to see how well you convert T4 to T3. Your FT4 is top of range so if you're not feeling optimal then it could be due to low T3.

Folate could be higher, it's recommended to be at least half way through range so that would be 12 plus with that range.

B12 is OK although 900-1000 is suggested by the book "Could it be B12" by Sally Pacholok.

If you want to improve both of those levels then a good quality, bioavailable B Complex such as Thorne Basic B would do the job. If you look at other brands then look for the words "bioavailable" or "bioactive" and avoid any that contain Vit C as this keeps the body from using the B12 the supplement contains, they should be taken 2 hours apart.

Vit D isn't too bad although the Vit D Society and Grassroots Health recommend a level of 100-150nmol/L, with a recent blog post on Grassroots Health mentioning a study which recommends over 125nmol/L. As we can't make Vit D naturally during the winter, it might be worth taking 2,000iu D3 daily along with it's important cofactors - magnesium and Vit K2-MK7. Magnesium helps the body convert D3 into it's usable form and Vit K2-MK7 directs the extra uptake of calcium to bones and teeth where it is needed and away from arteries and soft tissues where it can be deposited and cause problems.

Ferritin is classed as iron deficiency - see cks.nice.org.uk/topics/anae...

In all people, a serum ferritin level of less than 30 micrograms/L confirms the diagnosis of iron deficiency.

You should speak to your GP who should do an iron panel to confirm iron deficiency and a full blood count to see if you have anaemia. Don't let your GP fob you off with it being in range, point out the NICE Clinical Knowledge Summary confirming iron deficiency at your level.
