Hey ,
The serum selenium measured in the functionalDX tests isn’t bad. With vitamins and minerals, I aim usually in the upper half of the reference range. Yours are a little lower, but not by much.
Serum levels however are reflective of what you have eaten the last few days. Red Blood Cell markers can provide you with an average of what you have eaten in the last few months since red blood cells live around 3 months before they are broken down by the body. So although the marker looks good, it has a limitation. But if your eating pattern was reflective of your normal eating pattern in the days before the blood draw, the serum levels are probably a good indication.
With regard to your question about Hashimoto’s: diagnosing isn’t what we can do. It requires a medical doctor that can assess your personal circumstances. With Hashimoto’s TPO antibodies are usually high. Yours aren’t. This is all I can say about it.
Graves results in a fast thyroid accompanied by a low TSH. Since your fT3 is low and your TSH is 2.1 it doesn’t fit the clinical picture.
I hope that answered your questions!

thank you. Today, I had to provide another blood withdrawal, but this time to the GP as he’s reluctant to give me B12 jabs despite the GI CONSULTANT writing to him. If it’s normal. That is, in the allupathy world, he’s not going to give it to me. He’s also doing a full blood and iron and iron storage level check. I’ll upload the results when received.
