I'm about to get next lot of private
blood
tests
but last one showed poor conversion of T4 to T3. NHS Endo appointment has been moved on to another 6 months time and am really struggling with symptoms. Funds are limited but worried that I'll wait for the NHS appointment and still not get anywhere.

Blood Results
She was very sympathetic and did me a full run of
blood
tests
. All came back ‘normal’ my TSH even slightly down to my last test. Bloods were taken at 9.15am as advised. I am not prescribed any thyroid medication and take 3000 vitamin D. What does everyone else think?

frustrated
Once I chatted with her I got very mixed messages from her and no actual answers and a prescription for medication I don’t think I need.Needing more scans and
blood
tests
before I think I’ll get answers. Just very frustrated today and have been positive up to now. Sorry to ramble on.

just below normal Vit D symptoms
Quite comprehensive
blood
tests
only showed that his D3 level is just insufficient at 49, when acceptable levels should be 50+. Is it possible that his symptoms could be down to his D level? GP recommended he supplements, which he’s just started.

blood
pressure; compression stockings questions to make sure had not eaten and scary consent form to sign when you meet the doctor who will perform the procedure.)

Post heart attack
He had recent
blood
tests
as he is on 85mg statins , so he has annual checks but results came back with kidney disease, very concerning although GP has said that on a scale of 1 - 10 his kidneys were working at 7 which isn’t concerning, again we’re not sure .

I’m Quite Annoyed Over My Latest Blood Tests.
Three months ago my Levo was reduced because they thought I was taking too much. This week I had my blood test and they haven’t even tested T3 as last time so how am I supposed to know if it’s much better or not?. The September results were: TSH - 0.03 [0.35-4.94] FT4 - 20.1 [9.0-19.0] FT3 - 4.89 [

Thoughts?
To say
blood
tests
( haven’t had any recently) show I have chronic kidney disease and I should start taking a statin. First reaction was - it’s a mistake. Second was - when did I last have FBC? Put myself on list for call back from surgery.

Blood tests
just noticed on the letter from pears that they awaiting results of ANA and ANCA. This letter was dictated on 25th and bloods taken a good few weeks before that. Will these tests show auto immune thyroid and why taking so long? Anyone help?

First post.
Mumbled about
blood
tests
but said see how it goes. Then the shoulders started and had trouble getting out of bed, could not raise my arms so could not dress myself etc. Must have done something silly I thought.

T4/T3 Combi Overmedicated Help Please
Its just symptoms, not
blood
tests
, but had palpitations, fatigue, fast heart beat, shortness of breath. Was on 150mcg Levo and 12.5 T3 daily. Also added daily selenium which might have complicated things.

Update on severe skin lesions
She did all kinds of
blood
tests
that ruled out just about everything. The lesions cleared up, so the rheumatologist has okayed doing another infusion next week and seeing what happens. Fingers crossed that there is no repeat and it was the Colchicine.

Worried
All
blood
tests
for Thyroid hormone levels have been normal all along which I find odd as I feel like I have symptoms of hypothyroid. I have been feeling awful for about 2 years - weak, breathless, exhausted, appetite decreased.
