Persuading GP to test T3
She has taken
iron
tablets with only a little improvement and now stopped because she feels fed up with taking them. I suggested she should bring her yearly blood test forward a bit and she is awaiting the results. However, she said her GP didnt test T3 so they may not be that revealing.

follow up to previous post. Help please.
GP said he had done FT3/FT4 but he hadn’t so we requested GP to do FT3/FT4 which is below and full
iron
panel. Taken 15/1/24. she takes 175mcg Levo liquid daily. Done tests early morning empty stomach. Over the years I’ve noticed the TSH has improved and this is the lowest it’s ever been.

Advice please
When I first started my periods I was having very heavy periods that was lowering my
iron
causing me to have anemia. I was a very conscious school girl who was paranoid she smelt of blood and was going to leak any second.

Confirming blood tests needed to diagnose hyperthyroid (asking for my sister-in-law)
She's not on any Thyroid meds, but I will advise that she should stop any multi-vitamins a week before and any other vit/supp she might take that include B complex, biotin, or
iron
. Anything you'd change, or anything different if it's hyper we suspect vs hypo? Thanks as always!

Please ask for inclusion of
iron
therapy as first line treatment for RLS ? Fortunately: 1.You agreed that RLS should be included in the core curriculum.

Nothing Works.
I have been on
iron
for many yrs due to anemia, and i mentioned the
iron
infusion , my Dr contacted the hosp, but they wouldn’t entertain it, it seems we have a battle on our hands what ever we try to do to help ourselves.

Test interpretation please
Been working on my
iron
for 2 years, very very slow progress, now on
iron
bisglycinate. I also supplement B12, D, zinc, Mg (also failed in this test - annoying). I've been taking my Basal body temp for the last month.

"Your thyroid's fine"...what do you think?
Put me on 3 months of
iron
tablets, (ferrous fumerate 210 mg tablets) 2 a day and told me to get another blood test in 3 months and a test for celiac disease as that may be the cause of my low
iron
stores. Haven't had results of these yet.
