Hello, welcome along

Not the easiest to read, pictures are often clearer when added as a reply.

Are you diagnosed and taking Levothyroxine?

These results show that you have Hashimoto's

[greygoose]

Nothing much appears to be going on at the moment. You have Hashi's, so levels are going to fluctuate all the time. At the moment, you have high-ish TSH, and low-ish FT4/3, but you weren't quite hypo at the time of this blood test.

BUT, what time of day was the blood draw? Because that makes a difference.

Do you have any sort of thyroid diagnosis?

Are you taking thyroid hormone replacement?

Did you have any nutrients tested: vit D, vit B12, folate, ferritin?

Also, could this be Graves? I have high BMR and temp sits at 37.5-37.8

[greygoose in reply to Sweetpea1234]

Highly unlikely to be Graves' with those results. With Graves' TSH would be completley suppressed and FT4/3 about ten times above the top of the range.

Thanks GreyGoose. I only ask as google seems to say high thyroid antibodies could be either Graves or Hashimotos, and I feel more like I have Graves but clearly that’s in my head as my thyroid hormones are normal (ish)

[greygoose in reply to Sweetpea1234]

Graves' has its own antibodies, TRAB and TSI, but it is possible to have high TPOab when you have Graves'. But your other results are saying hypo.

[Sweetpea1234]

is that clearer now? No diagnosis- this was taken in an over all health review. Blood drawn at 6pm and low iron and vit d too

Much better... to get a more accurate result ideally the test needs to be before 9am with only water before as TSH is at its peak between 7-9am and drops throughout the day

For Graves there is a TRAb test

Vit D... grassrootshealth.net/projec...

Was it a full iron panel or just ferritin?

[Sweetpea1234]

so this is my iron profile. Other tests of note were low testosterone, +2 ketones, low complement C3 and low body fat

Iron
