Tyroid results need some input

[Guest guest]

First time posting, but here goes:

Following recent gain weight, I had thyroid tested. There results

were as follows:

Serum TSH level 8.65 (ref 0.4-5.00)

Serum free T4 level 14.4 (ref 11.0-23.0)

Thyroid peroxidase

antibody level <30 (ref<109 U)

(UK ref range differs from US and Europe, note it is higher, guess it

is less costly this way!)

A few months previous to the above:

Thyroid Profile 3

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone 3.16 (0.27-4.20)

Free Thyroixine 15.7 (12.0 - 22.0)

Free T3 4.6 (4.0 - 6.8)

I am not sure how to interpret, because these fluctuations have been

consistent now for a few years.

I would welcome input and interpretations as I am not sure I

understand what is going on.

Furthermore, there is a need to understand before taking thryroxine,

or alternative treatment.

Many thanks for input
