Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Just had my latest blood test results back. Im currently on 75mcg Levo. GP refused to increase it last time as she was frightened I would become overmedicated (which is ridiculous when you see results). Anyway, results from six weeks ago TSH 3.66 ref range (can't remember lower number but highest was 4) so only just in range. T4 12.9 (magnesium 0.87) Ferritin 15 (asked about this being very low but advised to eat more iron rich foods)! Latest test results are: TSH 2.47 T4 12.4 Ferritin 26 Since the latest results I have started to take 2 Selenium 200mcg tabs a day (is this the correct amount)? Also 1 14mg iron tablet. I still have days where I feel incredibly tired but most days Im doing ok. My hair is still falling out a lot (no bald spots). When I rang for results I was just told the usual " they are normal " . I had to ask for actual results. No mention of when I need another blood test. I think that now Im within " normal " range they will leave me 12 months before testing again. Should I push for another test sooner? Is there anything else I can take/do to help myself? Im thinking that my symptoms at the moment could be more to do with low ferritin than thyroid or the low ferritin may not be helping matters. Thanks. ne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
