advice please

I’ve just had my blood results, but it doesn’t look like TSH has been tested. Do I need these to have a full picture of how my thyroid is doing ?

What results do you have?

Usually TSH is the only thing some places test.

For a full picture you need TSH, FT4 & FT3.

Have now got my latest blood test results, as follows;

TSH. 0.66 mluL

Serum Free T4. 13.5 pmol/L

Serum Free T3. 4.2 pmol/L

Serum Ferritin 108 ug/L

Vitamin B12 292ng/L

Vitamin D 117nmol/L

Serum Albumin 42 g/L

Serum total Billiruben 7umo/L

Serum Alkaline Phosphatase 64u/L

Serum ALT level 11u/L

B12, Ferritin, Folate - (ABAB) 3.9ug/L

I’m 68, weight is 156lbs (70.76kg)

My current dosage of Levothyroxine is

4 x 75mg and 3 x 100mg weekly.

I’m still struggling with my weight despite consulting a nutritionist, have joint pain and am always very cold.

Can anyone help me with these results ? please, do I need my dosage increased.

Also, some advice please on what vitamin supplements I may need. I’m seeing my Dr this week to discuss these results so any advise would be greatly appreciated

Many thanks

Gia

As this post was some days ago you will get a better response by starting a new post.

Also, if you do make a new post could you add in the reference ranges for particularly the FT4 & FT3, also B12.

I'm not sure what an B12, Ferritin, Folate - (ABAB) 3.9ug/L test is. I supsect this might be your folate result. It looks low but you need to add a reference range.

Your ferritin & Vit D look good.
