The thyroid hormones affect all metabolic processes. I do not know why you are talking about your platelet count that looks normal. When they give you a report they usually would include the normal range so you could see what is normal for the laboratory for reference.

A platelet count of "227 k" is normal, but a TSH level of "13" needs evaluation and treatment for hypothyroidism. See an endocrinologist physician for appropriate treatment.

Check: Check ft4 and tpo antibodies. If the antibodies is positive, it's best to bring tsh to less than two.
