Hi, I’m new to all things thyroid. My doc said my tests were fine, but my T4 free is borderline low. Is this something I should be addressing? I’ve had numerous symptoms for years that could fall under the low thyroid umbrella.
TSH 2.11 (reference range 0.40-4.50)
T4, free 0.9 (0.8-1.8ng/dL)
T3, free 3.2 (2.3-4.2 pd/ml)
Thyroglobulin antibodies <1 (<1 IU/mL)
Thyroid Peroxidase antibodies <1 (<9 Iu/mL)
you need vitamin D, folate, B12 and full iron panel test for anaemia including ferritin
What’s your diet like
Are you vegetarian or vegan, gluten free or dairy free
My doctor just prescribed iron infusions and b12 injections. I am not on a special diet and I don’t have any dietary restrictions. I’ve been supplementing vitamin D for 5 months, I haven’t retested but my vitamin d at the time was 21.5
B12 294 (normal range 200-1100 pg/ml)
Folate 15.8 (normal >5.4)
Homocysteine 7.6 (normal range <10.4 umolurology/L)
MMA 128 (normal 87-318 nmol/L)
CRP 7.2 (normal <8)TSH 2.11 (normal 0.40-4.50)
Retest thyroid levels in 2-3 months once vitamin levels are all at GOOD Levels
Low vitamin levels tend to lower TSH
Being hypothyroid frequently causes low stomach acid and leads to poor nutrient absorption and low vitamin levels as direct result
Can take several months to improve low ferritin
Always test thyroid levels early morning for highest TSH
I’ve been supplementing vitamin D for 5 months, I haven’t retested but my vitamin d at the time was 21.5
You need to retest
How much vitamin D are you currently taking
Looking for vitamin D at least over 40ng/mL
(or 100nmol U.K. units)
Low TSH, normal T4 and T3
Pregnant, Low T4, normal TSH
Low TSH with normal T4 and T3
Low free T4 and free T3, normal TSH, low ferritin..
Please help- thyroid results- normal TSH low free T3 and free T4
