Help interpreting results
Hey ! Can you please help me with those results ? I was on antidepressants for anxiety for many years and didnt helped AT ALL.I got anxiety,ALOT of weight loss, achy muscles and joints,depression(one day i have it, the next i don't), alot of rage, pins and needles in my head,very dry skin and agoraphobia.I have this since 10 years ago and no med has ever helped.Saw like 4 endos and they all said im fine.Never took any thyroid meds.So, those are my results:
TSH-0.99 (0.4-4)
FT3-2.64 (1.5-4.1)
FT4 -1.41 (0.8-1.9)
ATGO-too low to be detected (<30)
ATPO-40 (<30)
Vit D25OH-17
Ferritin-106
In the last 2 years I had the TSH 1.78, 3.02 and ATGO and ATPO ranging between 100-150.

Thanks for the answer.
You told me yesterday to post the lab ranges too and i couldnt edit it, or i didnt know how thats why i started this new one.
I posted a question on a doctors website and he said my TSH is suppressed.is it so ?
So, hashimoto will in time develop into hypo or hyper for sure?
Yes, vit D is very low, but i cant tolerate taking it i dont know why :(
The ferritin ranges are 30-400.

This is the same question you asked yesterday and I responded. The only difference is that now, you've added the vitamin D and ferritin levels.
It's best to keep all of your comments on the same thread, because it gets confusing when you have more than one thread going at the same time, with the same information and we have to keep asking the same questions. Here's a link to your other thread:

As I noted yesterday, antibodies fluctuate and don't have to be tested every time you have other testing done. If you've been positive for antibodies, you should have been diagnosed with Hashimoto's. That's a lifelong disease, for which there is no cure.
With Hashimoto's, the body sees the thyroid as foreign and produces antibodies to destroy it. The disease is progressive, in that, as the antibodies destroy thyroid tissue, the thyroid produces less and less hormones, until, eventually, it produces none.
Your thyroid levels don't really look all that bad, though your FT3 is on the low side. Rule of thumb is for FT4 to be about mid range; yours is at 55%. Rule of thumb for FT3 is upper half to upper third of its range; yours is at 43%. Of course these are, typically, rules of thumb for those on medication so we have something to aim for, but they can also help, prior to medicating, just to see where you're at.
Your vitamin D level is very low; have you been put on supplement for that? Some Vitamin D deficiency symptoms can mimic those of hypothyroidism, so you'll need to get your levels back up.
What's the lab range for your ferritin? Typically, ferritin should be around 70, but reference ranges vary with the lab, so it depends on your lab.
