Comments On Blood Test Results Please

[Ant5]

I don't post very often but I read a lot on here, and after having a Blue Horizon full thyroid blood test, I would be interested in the thoughts of anyone on what came out of it. I had radioactive iodine some years ago and am on levothyroxine (100mg). My results from the GP always come back as 'normal' but have fluctuated wildly within this over the years. What my 'normal' is I have only an idea as the earliest blood test I have was not full and was not long before my thyroid problems started. I have tiredness which gets in the way of everyday activity. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and never been happy with this as it puts you in a box - fibro is a set of symptoms, and by passing this off as a diagnosis it avoids looking for a cause. I have stomach issues - I have been diagnosed with IBS and diverticular, and have had gastritis. I am due an endoscopy (several years after the last) because of a flare up in pain. My GP treats this as too much stomach acid and prescribes accordingly with PPI's, but I wonder after what I've been reading if this might actually be the opposite and so the treatment I have had is counter-productive.

I list my results below. They are in 'normal' ranges but are interesting in that they seem towards the low ends on some things. I note from comparing my last T3 that it remains the same; my TSH is the same but my T4 is down, and my Iron has been slowly decreasing over the last two years of tests. If anyone wants to know for reference, I will post figures asked for, but I've already written enough. The test figures follow - any comments and thoughts very welcome.
