Yes, for sure. If your doctor is following the .1-5 scale for thyroid instead of the NEW .1-3 scale for TSH... you may be hypo to some extent and need supplements of thyroid hormone if you are testing between 3 and 5.

B12 should be 400 or above.

See if you have MCV in the CBC section. Elevated MCV indicates low B12 activity in the body.

Elevated ferritin is problematic. Any antibody tests and ANA etc.
HbA1C and fasting glucose.

Glenn is more versed with the complex antibody tests than I am.
