I don’t know what to do now
So my feb thyroid results and now my march results so different and in range
the t3 is a massive jump
All done same lab
Same time of day 8:15 fasted
Same point in cycle day 14
I have all the symptoms
On paper GP is going to say I am now back to normal and it was a blip
as discussed in your previous post
healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...
Looking at some degree of central hypothyroidism
Are you now improving low B12 and folate
Are you being treated by thyroid specialist endocrinologist
I don’t know what to do now
Not started and supplements yet
No I am seeing a private gp
Not started the 25mg Levo yet
The jump of Ft3 is huge gone from right at bottom to almost at the top
fT4 hovering low end
I don’t know what to do and I doubt my gp will either
Levels often hop about with Hashimoto’s
You could work on improving low B12 and folate first
Retest thyroid levels again in another 6 weeks
Then review
so not take Levo now
Re test in 6 weeks
Same lab same time ect and see what it’s doing?
My bloods don’t show signs of any autoimmune Hashimoto
My thyroid scan also all healthy
You don’t appear to have had thyroglobulin antibodies tested
TPO 28 range 0-60
ThAB 1 range positive more 4.5 neg less than 4.5
This looks like Trab test - testing for hyperthyroid
You need Thyroglobulin antibodies test

When converted to the same units, the results become:
February:
Free T4 (fT4) 11.67 pmol/L (11.91 - 20.0111) -3.0%
Free T3 (fT3) 2.1198 pmol/L (3.1029 - 6.8049) -26.6%
T4:T3 Ratio 5.505
March:
Free T4 (fT4) 13.0 pmol/L (12 - 22) 10.0%
Free T3 (fT3) 5.59 pmol/L (3.1 - 6.8) 67.3%
T4:T3 Ratio 2.326
What does this actually mean?
Have I got a thyroid problem I have all the symptoms
Thanks crystal
It means your FT4 is low. But your FT3 has risen and could be acceptable. But we are all different and might need our levels higher or lower than each other.
Are you taking anything at all? Whether thyroid hormone or anything else.
Your February results show that your T4 and T3 are very low, despite your TSH not being elevated much, this is unusual in itself. For the March results, your T4 is still quite low, but there is a jump in T3. Sometimes, when a thyroid is failing, it can compensate for the lack of T4 by producing more T3 but the TSH appearing normal despite your T4 only being 10% through the range does not look right.
I think you should ask for a referral to an endocrinologist, preferably someone that may have experience in central hypothyroidism?
My FT4 has been low since 2021
TSH 2.57 range 0.27-4.2
fT4 13.2 range 12-22
Ft3 4.6 range 3.1 -6.8
Tsh 2.31 range 0.27-4.2
FT4 12.8 range 12-22
Tested twice in one year convinced something was wrong
Both times told I was in range
So I have clearly had Low FT4 for while now
And it’s starting to fluctuate more and give me stronger symptoms
Specially with my FT3 all over the place
That is a long time for being unwell and having symptoms. The problem is, as long as everything is anywhere within those ranges, GPs are not interested and tell you all is normal and you should feel okay.
If you cannot get referred to an endocrinologist by your GP, could you perhaps see one privately? I have found a publication in the BMJ that lists the things that should be tested when looking for central hypothyroidism, maybe something to keep at hand, if you manage to get an appointment with an endocrinologist?
Are you on medication ATM? Are are you wantingbto start Levo based on your first result?
Not starting Levo yet so on no meds currently
My gp prescribed Levo 25mg after Feb thyroid bloods
I then got March bloods which have changed
So now thinking test again April see if it changes again
Why did you do blood in the first place. You not had a thyroid op? X
No
I had Curley veins noted at optician
I then went for tests at gp to check
Blood pressure mine is low
Then bloods came back high cholesterol
Low b12 low folate low iron not deficient but all boarder line low
I then decided to to a full body blood test private and this is how I found the thyroid tests done Feb to be low Ft4 low FT3 TSH low end normal
I have had all the symptoms for many years
Low blood pressure
Poor circulation already had veins done in left leg pins needles edema swelling ankles
Raynards feeling cold cold hands feet
Constipation bloating indegestion
Tried fatigue if I work out I can’t do anything else
Low heart rate which then spikes doing any exertion
Poriassis scalp dry itchy skin
Beaus lines and lines up and down across on toes nails fingernails
Scalloped tongue
Eyes browns thinning
Feeling low unmotivated emotional forgetful can not focus concentrate
Poor sleep even though I sleep 8 hours I am very restless and my sp02 dips so I don’t re charge for the amount of time I am in bed
My periods always we heavy painful had ablation
Andeiimiosis and endo
Low sex drive it’s zero my testosteron is low
🫣😬😂
