Thank you to admin and to members who have messaged with answers to my earlier query re T3
Admin you suggested posting blood results so I thought I would, at this stage post my most recent results. As advised I have just ordered another comprehensive test from one of your suggested laboratories (different one than my usual choice which is also on your list)
I will update these results once my new test is complete. But for now I thought I would post the results I have and my current state of health which is poor and declining (exhaustion, brain fog, lack of stamina, rapid heart beat and some missed beats (currently awaiting cardiology consult following routine testing) and all the other usual (and some not so usual eg ear and scalp issues).

Comments from test lab doctor :
I can see that you are taking this test to monitor your dose of levothyroxine.
I’m pleased to report that you thyroid stimulating hormone is in the normal range which suggests that your levothyroxine dose is correct.
Your thyroglobulin antibodies are slightly higher than in your last test. You thyroid peroxidase antibodies have decreased since your last test. An elevation in these antibodies is to be expected in those who have Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
Your vitamin D levels are at the low end of the normal range. vitamin D levels which are not in optimal range can affect your motivation to exercise, and your speed and stamina whilst exercising. Taking 400 iu (10mcg) per day will help to keep your vitamin D at healthy levels
