How do you feel?

Did you discuss your previous results 3 months ago with your GP and did they prescribe anything as per this reply to you? healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

Your folate is looking a lot better! What are you supplementing with now?

Your B12 could be improved on.

No TSH or FT3 result.

Free T4 (fT4) 17.7 pmol/L (10 - 22) 64.2%

Your FT4 is relatively low so room for an increase.

D3 needs testing.

I have had a 3month course on folic acid and ferritin on prescription.Seasidesusie has been advising me and she thought I may need sublingual b12 and b complex.l still have very low metabolism.what do I do about FT4? Waiting for tshT3....3.27pg/ml 1.4-3.5pg/ml

Thanks

What, if anything are you taking for b12?

What supplements are you taking? Brand & name of supplement. You are likely to need to continue taking folate continuously.

We really need a full thyroid panel - TSH, FT4 & FT3 all taken together to understand what is happening.

What thyroid replacement are you taking?

Are you saying your FT3 is 3.27pg/ml 1.4-3.5pg/ml

Yes...t3....vit d test dec 7th was 137. Lindens B12 1000mcgSublingual....b complex suplement tree folic acid

Holland n Barratt 400ug

My dose of levothyroxine is 75mg.....t3 is 12 1/2.

[Jaydee1507 Administrator]

IFree T4 (fT4) 17.7 pmol/L (10 - 22) 64.2%

Free T3 (fT3) 3.27 pmol/L (1.4 - 3.5) 89.0%

That might be very slightly too much FT3 for some so how do you feel on that?

So you are taking a 1000mcg B12 and which B complex? I need to know how much of everything is in it you see.

I am assuming the Holland and Barratt 400ug is folic acid or is it methylfolate?

[Madge72 in reply to Jaydee1507]

Yes folic acid....b complex Supplement tree....vit 3d 10000iu soft gel 8 vitamins.

I feel OK on t3 at the moment

But it may change with the

Vitamins when I improve

When I have my next private test ( can't afford it just now )

I can't read results for ft3 ft4

[Jaydee1507 Administrator in reply to Madge72]

When it comes to supplements you do get what you pay for. As you've already been deficient in folate and low on B12 its important to be taking a high dose B complex. The Supplement Tree one has half the dose of both of those compared to Thorne Basic B. Thorne Basic B also contains the active type vitamins which are better used by many people rather than the cheaper basic non converted vitamins.

Do compare what you have with this label from a high dose B complex, the Thorne brand.

Thorne Basic B label
