Thank you for replying back so quickly Bernadette. You’re pointing things out that my practitioner didn’t even mention worth checking and I’m impressed 😁 <div>So I dug out another CBC report from 2021 (around the same time I was diagnosed with hashimotos) and it does show a decreasing level of WBCs compared to 2019. Attaching it below.</div>
<div>As for low ferritin, I do take animal protein with every meal, that’s thrice daily, so it being low is a surprise. My periods aren’t heavy usually, but maybe once in a few months. </div><div>Never got copper checked.</div><div>I’m supplementing with a B complex, so it being low is also confusing.</div><div>Couldn’t access the videos because it said I don’t have enough privileges.</div><div>

Yes I’ve got a full thyroid panel (done in August), ferritin and b12 (done last week) CBC (done around in February) attaching the results.<div>
No, I’ve never got checked for either ebv, h. Pylori or any other stomach parasites.
Haven’t got selenium or zinc checked ever (but supplementing with 200 micrograms selenium and 50mg zinc every alternate day)
I have switched to non iodised salt around 4 years ago, and no other sources of iodine intake that I can recall. Occasionally I do consume sushi but that’s like maybe once in 5-6 months.
Generally overall I feel fine, I have been loosing hair way too much (that’s what got me suspicious and I discovered my hashimotos)
Sleep is fine, weight is fine (I’m 5’5″ and weigh 57-56kg).
Periods are regular, 28 day cycle. Though once a year I noticed it tends to extend to 30ish days.
One thing I’ve noticed is that I burp a lot, during eating, after and in between meals, doesn’t matter what I eat it always happens. Sometimes even after a plain glass of water. I do take ACV shots before meals.
Also I’ve noticed bloating if I eat sugar/dairy (even though I have a dessert maybe once in 2-3 months)
