Following my post a few weeks ago I have done a private test with Thriva - I think I can only post the results as screen grabs one by one? There was a problem with the blood which meant they couldn't do a FT3 test.
Back story is I originally went to a neuro consultant as I keep falling over and hurting myself. He referred me for the first set of blood tests last month, which were similar to the results below.
I'm interested in exploring possible issues with my pituitary gland now as that could fit with my symptoms. However, I'm clearly not medically trained and am just trying to feel better without being fobbed off with Prozac.

As I mentioned in reply to your previous post, which also had a below range FT4, you could very well be looking at Central Hypothyroidism, all relevant information was given there so I wont repeat it here:
Yes, thank you SeasideSusie . It may come as no surprise to hear that I was stonewalled by my GP when I suggested that to her. However, I did get her to accept that it was worth referring me to a specialist Endo, on the basis that (thanks to you and others on this forum) I knew more about it than her.
Have you had vitamin D, folate, ferritin B12 tested
Low B12 often linked to dizziness and falling
Very important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12
Low vitamin levels are extremely common, especially with autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto’s or Ord’s thyroiditis)
Low vitamin levels common as we get older too
Roughly how old are you
Recommended on here that all thyroid blood tests should ideally be done as early as possible in morning and before eating or drinking anything other than water
This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip)
Is this how you did your test
20% of Hashimoto's patients never have raised antibodies
