help please seeing the doctors today and haematologist

[Bonfire24]

hello I have has my thyroid tested privately as my tsh levels have always been around 1.

these are the results from the test done at 11 am.i had not eaten since about 7 pm the night before.

Tsh 1.060

Ft4 12.30

Ft3 4.35

A bit of background information I have low iron but take iron tablets everyday and it doesn’t seem to be making much difference.

I also have b12 injections every 3 months as my b12 was low but having had the injections now for the past 3 years they are now steady.

At one point last year I did have to take folic acid to help absorb the b12 as I was struggling to hold the b12.

I take every day iron tablets ,vitamin d,vitamin c,magnesium and then the b12 injection every 3 months.

my doctors are concerned that my platelets are high they always have been higher end of the scale now they are far too hugh apparently.

I will post my thyroid results and also my lastest blood test.

thank you

Any obvious reason for dire iron/ferritin or low B12

Are you vegetarian or vegan

Or very heavy periods

You should probably qualify for iron infusion

But even if you do, you need to then maintain iron levels so likely to need iron supplements

No vitamin D result?

Or folate?

You need coeliac blood test too

Plus cholesterol levels and kidney function too

TSH would have been higher if tested at 8-9am

Your Ft4 and Ft3 are both low

[Bonfire24 in reply to SlowDragon]

No reason to why alsways been low ,gives me brain fog and fatigue.

No I eat meat and have a normal diet.

Periods are fairly normal don’t last long.

I do have iron tablets which they told me to take.

I’ll post a older blood test from last year as that has more tested.

Exactly what iron tablets and how many per day

[Bonfire24 in reply to SlowDragon]

I’m taking ferrous fumarate 210mg x2

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Bonfire24]

So GP could have prescribed 3 per day

Many members get better results with Three Arrows iron

Bonfire24,

There are several causes for a high platelet count with iron deficiency being one of them. Although you are supplementing iron, levels remain deficient. I’ve never seen such a low transferrin saturation before.

Regarding thyroid hormones -I assume you are not medicating Levothyroxine and previous tests show you don’t have Hashimotos. The iron deficiency will have impact on thyroid hormones levels as is not only essential in the production but also correct usage of hormones.

However, the low TSH is not in line with your low thyroid hormone levels so could be pointing towards central hypothyroidism which is when the pituitary fails to produce enough TSH. Although when this happens there is often other pituitary hormone deficiencies also such as prolactin and growth hormone.

Maybe ask for different iron tablets or even an infusion. Are you taking your iron tablets with vitamin C and eating an iron rich diet?

[Bonfire24]

yes I’m taking iron tablets and vitamin c
