Hi, I posted a little while ago with recent Thyroid results. SlowDragon suggested I come back with some other results once I had them. I'm not diagnosed with a Thyroid issue as of yet.
These results are following an appointment with an NHS Endocrinologist. I didn't think about him taking bloods at the appointment, therefore I didn't stop taking the Methyl B supplement, which I know I should have. I therefore have no idea if these results are an accurate indication of my actual levels.
TSH 1.12 mU/L (0.3-4.5)
Free T4 12.4 pmol/L (10.0-22.0)
Free T3 3.8 pmol/L (3.1-6.8)
Vitamin B12 399 pmol/L (145-569)
Serum Folate 10.7 ug/L (3.9-26.8)
Sodium 138 mmol/L (133-146)
Potassium 4.0 mmol/L (3.5-5.3)
The Endocrinologist completely dismissed my suggestion that my Thyroid isn't optimal and told me the results I'd taken to the appointment were very good. He wrote in his letter "We discussed your results in our endocrine meeting. The team were in agreement that thyroid stimulating hormone levels lie within the normal range, in combination with free T3 and free T4 levels that have been consistently in the normal range, is in keeping with a healthy thyroid profile."
I have a 15 minute call booked in with Country Health this week and an appointment booked with Dr Momi from Functional Thyroid Care at the end of the month. Perhaps they will see my results differently?
I know I have adrenal dysfunction, diagnosed via symptoms and Dutch test - the NHS Endo completely dismissed this too!
Any views/opinions welcome.
Thanks

You need separate B12 daily as well as GOOD QUALITY daily vitamin B complex
Then once your serum B12 is over 500 (or Active B12 level has reached 70), you may be able to reduce then stop the B12 and just carry on with the B Complex.
If Vegetarian or vegan likely to need ongoing separate B12 few times a week
Thorne Basic B recommended vitamin B complex that contains folate, but they are large capsules. (You can tip powder out if can’t swallow capsule) Thorne can be difficult to find at reasonable price, should be around £20-£25. iherb.com often have in stock. Or try ebay
IMPORTANT......If you are taking vitamin B complex, or any supplements containing biotin, remember to stop these 7 days before ALL BLOOD TESTS , as biotin can falsely affect test results
In week before blood test, when you stop vitamin B complex, you might want to consider taking a separate folate supplement (eg Jarrow methyl folate 400mcg) and continue separate B12
Post discussing how biotin can affect test results
I have been working with a functional doctor, using a number of supplements and looking at nutrition too. Mainly focusing on adrenals. The Methyl B Complex is different to the one I was taking 7 months ago.
