Blood test results - help please!!

May 3, 2011

Hi.

Finally got my results from doctors and hopefully someone will be able to tell

me that they are not " normal " - even though some have been classed as abnormal

the doctors surgery has not bothered telling me! I am sure this is not the

first time you have heard this either.

TSH 0.24 (0.2- 5)

Free T4 15.8 (10.0-19.0)

Free T3 4.2 (no ref range but when 3.3 was abnormal) (old result from 2009 but

other results roughly the same).

C Reactive Protein 13 (<6) said Abnormal !!

Vit D 33 - even I know now that it is low, although it was 16 last year - have

been taking supplements for a few months now.

Ferritin 483 (15-300)

Folate 21.3 (2.0-14.5)

B12 584 (190-900)

On looking through records at GP surgery I noted that when first diagnosed hypo,

it says thryoid peroxidase antibod lev >1000 - TSH 6.3 and T4 17.9, TSH 8.2 and

T4 18.3. Any idea what that means please??

I got hold of a copy of my medical history which is how I found out all the

above.

Would appreciate any help on interpreting the above please. One point I did

feel really lousy when I had my bloods done so a few results did come up

abnormal, including white blood count and platelets, so allowances would

probably need to be made for this.

I am thoroughly fed up of trying to get through to docs about how I feel and

that thyroxine alone does not seem to be fully treating me so wonder if it would

be better just to get hold of NDT and self-treat rather than going through the

process of getting referral letter and then an appointment which will probably

take months. Getting hold of NDT would be quicker if I thought it would be ok

so any help regarding above would be really really appreciated. At least if

someone could interpret the bloods then I can go from there. I am getting

desperate please!

Thank you.
