Most recent thyroid bloods - abnormal, told normal

[MyrtleMac]

Hello, slight misunderstanding at the doc means they only gave me the thyroid blood test result instead of a full panel, but here it is from December 2021:

TSH 0.25 (Range 0.35 - 5.00)

Free T4 12.7 (Range 9.0 - 21.0

It's marked *ABNORMAL* in bold caps. I was told it was 'fine'. Diagnosed 13 years, I take 100 levothyroxine daily. Full thyroid tests next week with Blue Horizon.

Any thoughts/comments?

It's marked abnormal because your TSH is below range. I think you were told it was fine because the GP who looked at your results decided he/she wasn't worried about your TSH being a bit below range, and your FT4 obviously is not telling them you're overmedicated because it's so low in it's range.

I wouldn't give it another thought. Wait and see what your BH results are like.

Great, thanks - so new to all this!

Do private testing early Monday or Tuesday morning, ideally before 9am and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before

Hopefully you are also testing vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 at same time

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking

Remember to stop taking any supplements that contain biotin a week before all blood tests

I stopped all my supplements last weekend, hopefully all set for Monday. Thanks so much
