Hi, hoping someone can help me understand my latest results.
Age 27, no major health issues. Had a TFT in August as part of a range of blood tests due to suffering from depression. Had no expectation of finding anything out of the ordinary as thought I was “just” depressed. TSH was 4.67 (range 0.27-4.2) and free T4 13.4 (range 12-22). GP explained this was slightly out of range and ordered a retest in 3 months (now)
Have just had my latest results back:
TSH 7.32
free T4 13.5 (range 12-22)
TPO Ab 13.9 (range 0-34)
Haven’t spoken to the GP yet since getting these results today. I’m definitely symptomatic: depression, always bone tired, very dry skin and hair.
Should I expect to start levothyroxine based on these latest results? From what I’ve read online, the normal antibody result suggests this might not be Hashimoto’s (?). Or does the presence of ANY antibodies itself suggest that something isn’t right?
Will hopefully be speaking to my GP on Monday but would like to know what to expect
Thanks
