This shows your fT4 is very low suggesting your thyroid is struggling, have they tested your fT3? It would also be important to test your Vit D, ferritin, B12 and folate levels

Is your Dr going to start you on levothyroxine?

I had done a same test before, and the doctor told me that he would do another test to check so he could treat me, and this is the result. I haven't gone to the hospital yet but I can see the result from the app. I will visit the hospital soon to check. I'm nervous

Try not to be nervous, though it is a common side effect of being hypothyroid 😬

Adding in the missing hormone should gradually make you feel much better 🤗

With your fT4 varying so quickly it suggests you have Hashimoto's which is an autoimmune disease that attacks the thyroid making it vary its output until destroyed, have you had any thyroid antibodies tests?

Gluten and dairy often confuse the system

They may offer you a scan of your thyroid to see if you have any nodes which can affect the output levels

I really hope I'm not infected with anything because I get nervous a lot.

It isn't an infection just your immune system getting a little confused which makes it attack your thyroid, it is quite common but not always well treated

It could well be connected with your Favism, I admit I know no more than having searched for a connection but there are some study papers available
