Lastest blood results

Just received my private thyroid test

Not diagnosed with thyroid condition.

TSH 4.1 0.27 - 4.2 mu/L

FT4 13.7 12 - 22 pmol/L

FT3 4.2 3.1 - 6.8 pmol/L

I need to get a thyroid scan as I can feel a small lump on it.

Ferritin is high but iron is only middle range, what does that mean?

Many thanks

Free T4 (fT4) 13.7 pmol/L (12 - 22) 

Ft4 only 17.0% through range

Free T3 (fT3) 4.2 pmol/L (3.1 - 6.8)

Ft3 somewhat better at 29.7% through range

TSH only just within range

NHS GP unlikely to agree yet to start on levothyroxine

Serum folate: 3.9 ug/L 3.0 to 20.0

Presumably you are now taking daily vitamin B complex

Here’s link for how to request Thyroid U.K.list of private Doctors emailed to you, but within the email a link to download list of recommended thyroid specialist endocrinologists who may agree it’s time to start on levothyroxine

Ideally choose an endocrinologist to see privately initially and who also does NHS consultations so that might eventually transfer to NHS

Thank you for your reply

I'm now going to start with a B complex.

The GP surgery phoned after my last bloods from them, they won't prescribe folic acid but told me to get some over the counter.

Far better to take a good quality vitamin B complex that has methyl folate than folic acid
