finally added blood work. What’s a good % + ratio?

[Jgoodwin977]

As suggested, I finally got round to filling in my blood work. What’s a good percentage and what’s a good ratio? Thanks

TSH 5.19 mIU/L (0.35 - 5.00) 104.1%

Free T4 (fT4) 12.5 pmol/L (9.00 - 22.00) 26.9%

Free T3 (fT3) 4 pmol/L (2.40 - 6.00) 44.4%

T4:T3 Ratio 3.125 

Thyroglobulin Antbodies (TgAb) 95.3 IU/mL (≤ 40)

Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO) 36.7 IU/mL (≤ 5.60)

Vitamin B12 489 nmol/L (200 - 910) 40.7%

Vitamin D 160 nmol/L (50 - 200) 73.3%

Ferritin 110 ug/L (10 - 200) 52.6%

Sex binding globe  175 nmol/L (20 - 125) 147.6%

Cholesterol  5.6 nmol/L (2.00 - 5.00) 120.0%

Need to update with folate, c reactive protein and zinc

My d-dimer, ldl, b6 and white blood cells are raised

Chromium is low

Your frees are on the low side and with fT3 higher than fT4 and raised TSH shows your thyroid is struggling and you could do with some extra hormone starting with levothyroxine.

Are you suffering with symptoms?

Generally when on treatment levels around 70-80% with fT3 just behind fT4 works for many but it's an individual thing

[Jgoodwin977 in reply to TiggerMe]

Symptoms are swollen big toe and toe nails stopped growing. Get cold hands and feet and constipation sometimes, and sleep problems.

It says T4:T3 Ratio 3.125 do we know what a good ratio should be? Many thanks

3.5 -4.5 ish

[Jgoodwin977 in reply to TiggerMe]

Ok, so I’m slightly under. Thanks

[TiggerMe Ambassador in reply to Jgoodwin977]

Yes, you are particularly low in fT4
