These are my results just in this morning. What I'm surprised by is how good they are, i have felt really exhausted since Covid in December, and when i stopped my B complex high b12 (Viridian) for the test, (I ended up being off it for nearly a month bar 4 days in the middle for various reasons, ) I have been shaky, 4 am heat, high bp for me, memory terrible and sudden energy drops, real exhaustion so much so i've cancelled everything i can) Since taking the test my Bp is better, diastolic slightly higher than it used to be but systolic better) and though i can't really believe that just 5 days since taking the test and restarting Vit B complex I feel more normal. The endocrinologist is see says i have hashimotos, so i was expecting the result to show some inflammation. I don't really understand about the high folate.
Thank you for any insight

For good health every cell in the body must be flooded with T3 by way of a constant and adequate supply
The most important result there is FT3 and it is too low at 32.43% through the reference range
Your FT4 is 52% ditto. - but exogenous T3 will have lowered this somewhat.
We aim to have both Frees roughly approaching 75% through their respective ranges
Your T4 to T3 conversion is poor......high FT4 compared to low FT3
Your dose is....
T4 100 mcg and 15mcg T3 daily
When was the blood draw for this test done....
Usual protocol is to test at 9am, at least an hour away from food and drinks except water, 24 hrs after last T4 dose and 12 hours after last T3 dose.
Your antibodies don't look high enough for Hashi's
CRP result doesn't indicate significant inflammation
Vitamin D could be higher....100 -150....to support thyroid function and conversion
In your shoes....
I would add vit D + vit K2 ( the K2 ensures calcium goes to hard tissues eg bones and teeth rather than to soft tissue eg arteries where it can cause problems.
I would initially increase T4 to 125mcg and hope that raises T3...test after 6 weeks on a steady dose then depending on results increase to 150mcg.
Maybe, if FT4 is still well in range....try 175mcg.
Your folate is still in range but improving your B12 may help reduce folate level
This will take time to settle....there is no quick fix.
After that you may need to increase T3 dose...if you can persuade your endo!
Or...
If you self source T3 then you could start by adding 2.5mcg to the existing 15mcg every 2 weeks until you reach 20mcg....and test again. Then if required add 2.5mcg every 2 weeks until your FT3 level resolves symptoms but remains in reference range
Thank you so much DippyDame . I shall up the vitamin D I've been taking and ponder the various T4/T3 options. I agree it doesn't look high enough for Hashis but that was was the consultant said. In my mind I'd constructed a theory that Covid had triggered a Hashi flare up and that would all account for why I felt so bad, but I've dropped that idea . I think I've always been a poor converter , I think i read once that COQ10 helps with conversion?
