What are your most recent TSH, Ft4 and Ft3, ferritin, folate, B12 and vitamin D

What are you currently taking levothyroxine plus T3?

How much and what brands

[Chouchou1234 in reply to SlowDragon]

Last test was over 2 months for thyroid

Tsh 0.01

T4 20 (12 to 22)

T3 6.2 (4.1 to 6.8)

Ferritin was 60 then jumped to 150 then 200 so I think it was infection

Folate 19 b12 979 and homocysteine 8

Vit d 135

Thankfully crp and ESR are now good.

Im doing new thyroid test Monday

me - the diabetes test was 37

Have a look here - link is specifically to the amylase page but the site has information about many other tests:

What is being tested?

Amylase is an enzyme made mainly by the pancreas. It is released from the pancreas into the digestive tract to help digest starch in our food. It is usually present in the blood in small quantities. When cells in the pancreas are injured or if the pancreatic duct is blocked (by a gallstone or rarely by a tumour) increased amounts of amylase find their way into the bloodstream.

Thank you x i researched and my amylase is from salivary glands - that what they told me as I had been vomiting almost everyday a lot with the virus and neausea. I will ask for lipase to be checked with GP

What I find perplexing the LDL has jumped up from 3 to 3.5 in a month and yes I have had fat like butter etc but inread low oestrogen and low thyroid and raise cholesterol?

thank you xx

[helvella Administrator in reply to Chouchou1234]

Most of us don't get tested for LDL. I don't have any feel for how it changes over time. It could be pretty insignificant. And there are many blood tests where the same test, done by the same lab, even sometimes on the same actual blood draw, will vary by that sort of amount.

Are you on any other medications besides thyroid?

[Chouchou1234 in reply to Batty1]

fluoxetine 20 and perculapride.

That’s it. It could be a blip but it was similar a month ago and went down .

My gastro is aware .

Thank you for the replies

You may have just found your answer … my liver levels are high from biologics.

[Chouchou1234 in reply to Batty1]

Thank you. The thing is my ast and Ggt were never high and this time high - alt has been high but not this high and I haven’t increased fluoxetine etc . Thank you for this

[Batty1 in reply to Chouchou1234]

sadly the ups and downs of liver levels could be chalked up to time of day, fasting, not fasting, lab errors or just about anything really.
