My blood results - any observations welcome!

healthisimportant50 profile image

Is there anybody who could give me their opinion on my recent blood tests. I feel completely lost, alone and exhausted all the time, and all the results, except for one, have come back as normal.

These blood tests all coming back normal make me feel as if I'm making up how I feel, but I feel awful all the time, lots of depression, exhaustion, I never ever wake however much sleep I get feeling refreshed, I struggle with insomnia, brain fog, some days I struggle to even get out of bed, or do even the most basic of tasks. I've not been working for almost 2 years now, I gave up teaching as I was so stressed and exhausted and I'm considering applying for early retirement on medical health grounds, although no idea how likely it is that I would qualify, but even working self employed from home part time is a struggle.

Any advice or opinions on what you think of the results (or anything else I have mentioned) would be appreciated. My GP has referred me to a rheumatologist to investigate whether I may have Lupus, just thought I'd mention this. Thank you in advance. Sorry, there are quite a few blood results! I'm on 100mg of Levothyroxine, my sister has Hashimoto's also, and she suggests I increase the dose, but my doctor insists I don't. So confused and tired of feeling tired all the time and not being able to live a fulfilling life.

Hello Healthisimportant and welcome to the forum :

But it is also important that we can read these blood tests and currently we can't :

Can you type in the thyroid results - we need to see a TSH - T3 - T4 result and range -

We also need to see the thyroid antibody results looking like TPO / TgAB and ideally your ferritin - folate, B12 and vitamin D readings and ranges ?

Welcome aboard

I can make out folate which looks horribly low and B12 could be higher so you may be within range but definitely not optimal

You mention just starting HRT and weight gain which can mean your thyroid dose needs a tweak to help balance things out

I'm so sorry your not feeling your best. Have you had recently labs with FT4 FT3 TSH vitamin D ,B-12,Iron/Ferritin? I found in my Thyroid Journey that my thyroid meds besides being Optimal nutrients are very large components for our Thyroid meds to work Optimal. Wishing you Better Days Ahead.

Not what you're looking for?
