Your thyroid results look poor.
FT4 is low in range as is FT3. total T4 is also low in range.
It D needs to be supplemented.
I think your last results are the thyroid antibody ones, but i might be wrong. these look fine, so no hashimotos disease.
Feritin at 40 odd wants to be higher. Wants to be 90 and above. Thyroid hormone doesn't work as well when iron levels are lower.
I would say you are a classic person who could use a bit of thyroid supplementation.
Ok, thank you. That's what I thought.:)No everything is good in their view. Thousands of people the world over are told they are fine, but actually they would benefit from some thyroid meds. The fault lies with the reliance on the TSH test.
Preventing and treating cancer with progesterone.Aging, infection, trauma, prolonged cortisol excess, somatostatin, dopamine or L-dopa, adrenaline (sometimes; Mannisto, et al., 1979), amphetamine, caffeine and fever can lower TSH, apart from the effect of feedback by the thyroid hormones, creating a situation in which TSH can appear normal or low, at the same time that there is a real hypothyroidism.
@Mittir
I had earlier blood tests done but not as thorough back in March, and I also had mildly elevated liver enzymes, cholesterol was 5 and TSH was 2.1, vit d was 23.
Since then, in May, I had a major abdominal surgery so I wonder if my estrogen went up?
Regarding my PTH - I thought you said that it is higher than it should be, but then you also said that it is unusual to have T3,T4 and PTH at lower range.
Thank you Mittir. I am going to buy some chicken necks today, fortunately it is readily available here, so I will make a soup with 4 necks and see how I feel. I have some digestive problems, but it usually shows up as blocked nose, and most likely if something disagrees with me it shows up as anxiety and heart palpitations. With sugar (fruit/juice/white sugar) I eat according to taste, forcing it down doesn't agree with me. Also I still think elevated estrogen could be a problem as I certainly have symptoms of depression, anxiety, sore breasts and light and short periods. I don't take any supplements besides solban and estroban topically and the occasional aspirin. I would like to try thyroid, especially if I react well to the chicken neck soup. I am also considering cypro as well, at the moment I'm giving it to my autistic daughter and am seeing some improvements already.Sorry, that was a typo. I meant to write " T3, T4 and TSH. Not PTH.
RP's quote explains possible reasons for lower TSH with hypothyroidism.
Your surgery can be a cause for that. But, your pre surgery TSH was not that
higher than post surgery TSH.
If i were to try thyroid supplement, i would start with very small dose of T3.
1 to 2 mcg to see how body reacts to it. I use chicken neck soup for that.
I get warmth and energy boost from soup of 4 necks.
Fish head soup should have some T3. But, i think T3 content is
higher in chicken neck.
If your caloric intake, especially sugar is low then increasing
that can give immediate result. I hope you are able to consume
enough calories without digestive symptoms.
