An Update and Thank You

I had a lot of useful information and advice in my previous two posts which gave me a lot to think about and discuss with my GP, as a consquence of all your advice and suggetions I asked my GP for blood tests and urine test to rule out any secondary causes. I had a barrage of blood tests, one of the was parathyroid, it came back normal, I also had a full bone profile done which all came back normal, weirdly in the circumstances, I had tests for myleoma which also came back normal. ( Bense Jones) My calcium levels were within normal range as well (2.34 mmol) I had normal thyroid tests done and my TSH level is normal but my serum T4 is above normal range, it is 22.7 and should range from (12 to 22.0) I have not spoken to the doctor about that yet, the receptionist phoned me and said that that particular test should be repeated in 3 months. I am now reading that a high T4 serum can cause bone loss and increase fracture risk? So 3 months seems to be a long time without doing anything if that is the case given that severity of my T score -4.8 on my spine My D3 is 77 which is considered normal here, range should be (51-250). I am speaking the doctor tomorrow as I ended up in A&E on Sunday with a severe fecal compaction, I will spare you all the details as it was not a pleasant experience! This was as a direct result of the pain medication my GP prescribed so it needs to be changed. So I will mention the serum T4 being above normal range as I do not want it to hinder the treatment of AA for the bones. Thank you all for your help, it has been of a tremendous help to me. xxx Hope you are all keeping well. xxx
