Blood Test Results Low T4

[Dramlouie]

I need some advice please. I take 3.5 tablets of Thyroid S spread over the day. The endo increased it to 4 but I started getting shakes in my hand so he decreased it. My Blue Horizon test results are....

CRP 2.05 (under 5.0)

Ferritin 50.9 (13-150)

Magnesium 0.86 (.66-0.99)

TSH 0.05 (.27-4.2)

T4 Total 77.2 (66-181)

Free T4 13 (12-22)

Free T3 5.44 (3.1-6.8)

anti-thyroidperoxidase abs High 53 (under 23)

anti-thyroglobulin abs 29 (under 115)

cortisol, B12 and folate insufficient blood.

I also suffer with osteo arthritis, tinnitus, weight gain, stiffness, muscle weakness and ageing wrinkly crepe skin. I am 64 female. Sometimes I feel low thyroid which gives me a croaky voice and air hunger.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

You need to get vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 levels tested

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking

Have you had coeliac blood test done

Are you on strictly gluten free diet

Have you considered adding small dose levothyroxine alongside NDT…..many patients do that

Not gluten free. Coeliac test negative. Vit d level vgood. Ferritin 50.9.
