Advice Test results

[Doubleelephant]

Hi, I have just had some test results back and would welcome any comments on what to so with my thyroid levels. I currently take 75mg and have done now for about 17 months. Also included are some other blood results.

Test taken at GP's on Saturday 17th June at 9.30 am. No medication or food.

Tsh 2.25 (0.27-4.2)

No T4 or T3 tested despite asking for it.

Serum Folate 14.4ng/ml (Should be Greater than 2.9)

Serum Ferritin 41ng/m; (13-150) Seems lower end and historically seem to around that apart from once

Serum Vitamin B12 494ng/l (Should be Greater than178)

Serum Creatinine 77 (45-84) I am at upper end

Serum Albumin 48 g/l (35-50) I am at upper end

Total white Blood count 2.8 9 (3.6-11) Low

Platelet count 157 (150-400)

GFR Filtration rate 75 ( should be greater than 90) They never comment on this?

Previous Test with Monitor my Health was done on 1/06/23 in am about 8am, No meds nor food

TSH 3.07

T4 16.9

T3 4.1

Vit D 155 n/mol

I am having an appointment with my Gp next week and with My results through GP my Tsh is 2.25 so I don't think they are going to think I should increase though my private test results shower a slightly higher Tsh and T4 and T3 which are not that high. Do you think I should push to add some 100 in my week? Say 100 x3, 75x 4 to increase T4 levels but hopefully not suppressing my Tsh.

I am sleeping pretty well notwithstanding the menopause so don't want to risk worsening sleepless nights.

My vitamin levels are in range with my Vit D being a bit high. I was taking 4000 so have skipped a couple of weeks in this weather and about to start with Vit D 3000 spray and K2 .

Also taking Magnesium, Zinc and and Selenium.

In terms of symptoms I feel my main issue is fatigue and muscle aches on doing to much. Which this week was a day in London delivering a painting.

My brian fog is pretty good unless I don't sleep.

I feel I am thirsty a lot and take electrolytes to combat being dehydtrated. I have read that high Albumin and Serum creatinine can be sign of dehydration though my levels are just in range!

Does anyone else negative effects of dehydration and thyroid symptoms?

Thanks in advance

I commented on the MMH results before and this NHS test isn't much different. healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

A 25mcg increase would be OK or if GP is hesitant then ask for a trial of 12.5mcgs.

Adding a good methyl B complex would help your B12 & folate. This B complex has all the right vitamins at a not unreasonable cost for 90 days supply. amazon.co.uk/Liposomal-Soft...

Dehydration is often under medication.

Hi, thanks for your reply and for the response to my last post.

I was just posting these test results again as my previous MMH test results didn't have ranges for the ferritin. I was hoping to get a full thryoid panel from the GP but hey ho!

Thanks for the info about methyl B complex I will look into it and hopefully the GP will increase my dose a bit.

That's interesting that dehydration may be due to under medication.

Also is it ok to take a B complex if my B12 is already quite high?

[Jaydee1507 Administrator in reply to Doubleelephant]

Your ferritin is less than optimal. Should be 90-100 for best use of thyroid hormone.

Keep going with increasing iron rich foods - chicken liver, pate red meat for raising ferritin.

Your B12 result may look good but the range is too low. Anything under 500 isn't good enough so the B complex will really help.

You can keep hoping for a full thyroid panel from your GP but its not likely to happen sadly.
