GP not doing regular thyroid bloods.
How often should gp do thyroid bloods please? My main thyroid problem is fatigue, it’s not there all the time, comes and goes. So, I would like them done every 8 weeks, as I try different combos of Levo, T3 and Thyroid S, till I feel better. However, mine doesn’t do anything at all until I chase her

Iron study results help please
HiI had a ferritin test in November and posted my results here and got some help. My result then was low at 10.2ug/l I have since persuaded the doctor to do further tests for iron. Unfortunately she did not repeat ferritin but did an iron study results as follows Serum iron level 19 umol/L [9.0 - 30.4

My sis newly diagnosed and prescribed 75 mcg Levo but GP refuses to test free T4 or antibodies.
Hi my sister has had TSH result of 5.3 (0.3-3) and has symptoms and been prescribed 75 mcg Levothyroxine. GP refuses to test for free T4 or antibodies. I don’t think she should take the tablets until she has a baseline free T4 tested and antibodies. What you think?

A little advice please
following on from my last post where my blood tests showed low tsh (following protocols) I was called into the dr today. Dr wants me to drop to 50 one day 75 the next. I feel quite settled on 75. He took my blood pressure and pulse both of which were low. Should I try the lower dose to see what happens

TSH dropping, but FT4 stuck
I started levothyroxine on 10th August on 25mcg, then went up to 50mcg in September, then 75mcg Nov and I'm now alternating 75/100mcg every day. My TSH has dropped considerably, however my FT4 has got stuck at the very bottom end of normal and doesn't seem to be rising despite me increasing the dose

anti-tpo how high is high?
hi I’ve posted before about my tsh coming back as <0.001 with slightly low free t4 and normal free t3 and was told I should get antibodies tested. Gp seems to think I have Subclinical hyperthyroidism and is only paying attention to the odd tsh result and wants to repeat it in 2 months. I’ve had them

Results- antibody
I had a thyroid blood test. While my tsh and t4 are within range (t3 borderline low) as I am for 7 months now on Levotyroxine that appears to work.The anti-tg antibodies are now high (at 570 IU/ml) and it is first time that they were tested. I do not know how long I had the antibodies as my symptoms

Blood test result - Hashimotos
Hi all, I have recently had a scan of my thyroid and it’s confirmed my diagnosis of Hashimotos. When I spoke to my doctor about this I explained I was struggling massively with my weight, coldness and tiredness. Because of this he requested a blood test which all seems ok apart from my Thyroid peroxidase

Strange occurrence
I was in a

storm
in 2021. My body felt out of control. I’m feeling anxious and restless.. I’m frequently using the washroom and I haven’t been able to eat. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? What next steps would you take?

Biotin interference with Thyroid bloodwork
I am due for follow up blood work and just remembered that biotin interferes with the test results. How far in advance must I quit taking my B complex which has 100% daily requirement of Biotin? My last TSH a few months ago was .03, super low for me. I usually run between 1.5 and 2. But my FT4 was
