FT3 blood test
They have diagnosed Hashimotos and asked for various
blood
tests
, most of which my GP has agreed to. However, the GP has done a thyroid function test and not included FT3 blood test, which the endo also requested. Should I have a FT3 blood test and what is the protocol for this?

Decrease in levothyroxine again!!
Any ideas why for 8 weeks I’ll be on 100mg and then I’ll have blood test and I’ll have to be decreased to 75mg then 8 weeks later I’ll have a blood test and it will be put back to 100mg and now again it’s being decreased it’s so frustrating. I feel awful when on 75mg but they don’t listen to how I feel

New diagnosis of RA
I was diagnosed with RA approx 4 wks ago & started taking Methotrexate 15mg for past 2 wks followed by a blood test 4 days ago, my question is, am I supposed to receive the results of my blood test the same day as I have increased my dose (now on wk 3) without knowing whether my bloods are abnormal.

Abdomen feeling swollen
I have had
blood
tests
and physical exams to ensure there are no abnormalities, but I can feel a swollen section of my upper right abdomen despite these tests coming clear. It is just below my ribcage, on the very upper part of my abdomen. I have not had any scans (Ultrasound/MRI/etc).

12dpt negative blood test, doc asked to keep meds for more 5 days and retest. Anyone?
hi all, this is my second Fet, on the first I tested on day 10pt and got 9ml for hcg, on 12pt I got <1 and of course the same on 14dp. O believe I had a chemical pregnancy. Now it’s the second fet and I tested negative on 12pt, doctor might believe in late implantation as he asked me to keep taking

Haemotologist appointment.
Hi,Following my blood test a few weeks ago Levothyroxine 50 has been increased by 25. As a result of blood test and red/white platelets being low l have been refered to a Haemotologist. Should l be concerned? I had breast cancer 3 years ago.
