I’ve just had my blood results, but it doesn’t look like TSH has been tested. Do I need these to have a full picture of how my thyroid is doing ?

Another! GP appt. Tips for making the best of it please?
I posted on Monday about my experience of not having my low but still apparently "normal" vit B12 etc levels not taken seriously and ignoring the fact I have a lot of symptoms of pernicious anemia (I've also posted on the PAS forum, but there are far fewer people on there). https://healthunlocked.com

Anyone have MY GP app?
Don't know if it has always been there but just nosing about and found all the tests and therapies offered on a private pay for it basis. And people think the NHS isn't being privatised by stealth. So thought I'd have a little nosey, It's saying get quick convenient tests and advice on results
