Hi everyone, could I ask for some help interpreting my lab results? I've been tested for a whole heap of things, but my main concern was thyroid function. I am only taking Progest-E at the moment (still mega-dosing).
Thyroid results:
Serum free T4: 8.0 pmol/L
Serum TSH: 1.36 mu/L
Free androgen index: 3.4
Serum LH: 7.2 iu/L
Serum FSH: 4.2 iu/L
Serum prolactin: 173 miu/L
Serum testosterone: 1.9 nmol/L
Here in this part of the UK they don't do full thyroid panel testing as standard, and I'm not in a position to purchase private lab work
They want me to re-test because of the low T4, but I know they are likely to put me on Levothyroxine, which I don't want. I tried taking desiccated thryoid (Thiroyd brand) for 2 months, but it made my eczema worse and gave me crazy headaches and a low mood. These went away when I stopped taking it. My waking temps are still low (36.2 - 36.4).
Is there an online article by Peat where I can check these against his optimal ranges?
