Help with my thyroid test, please!

Hi all,

I have been diagnosed in my own country with Hashimoto 3 years ago and was told need to go on hormones. However as my primary country of living is UK  I had to convince my GP here that I actually have Hashimoto before i start curing it. Anyway after 3 years of constant complaints ( fatigue, repression, palpitation, constant sore throat and flues, etc) I have finally forced my GP to make me TPO test for antibodies to confirm the Hasmimoto as they only made me TSH serum level so far and all seem good according to them. So my results are back and they are as follows:

FT3 4.7 pmol/ L

FT4 15.1 pmol/ L

TSH- 2.33 mu/L

TPO- 178 kiu/L



All results seem fine according to them.However I still have lots of bad symptoms and the worse is I have been having sore throat every single months in the last 4 years most of it ending with a course of Antibiotic ( my estradiol levels are also low so might be something happening before my periods with all my hormones leading to crash in my immune system.) It is so tiring already and I really dont know what to do. I am 30 years old, try to eat healthy, to avoid bread at all also milk products, exercise regularly, dont drink and smoke. If someone had this issue and might give me a good advise will really appreciate. Dont really go on hormones as I believe in healthy lifestyle and hormones are bad for us but if that is the only way to get my life back would probably do it.

What are the reference ranges shown on your report for the Free T4 and Free T3?  Ranges vary from lab to lab and have to come from your own report, so we can see where your results fall within those ranges.  

Also, is you have the results of your estradiol results, could you please post them, along with their reference range?  

We must have adequate hormones in order to live healthy lives. The hormones that are bad for us are those that are given in excess or those fed to animals we eat, etc.
