Hi TSH and T4 look Ok, but if you do not feel Ok, then ask for a Free T3 test, that may be low. Also T4 on the low side, quite likely you need more treatment.Magnesium is fine, tiny range 0.70 - 1.000, so do not take that or Potassium other than in food. It is important they are always in range. If you wish to take some vit D, you must have a corrected calcium test first as that also must not go over range, D puts up Caclum. Also you need autoimmune and hormonal tests for Diabetes and B12 + foliates, B12 needs to be as at least middle of range.

I think the Dexa scan is fine, but make sure, ask GP.Mine has never been scored inthat way.

Best wishes,

Hi Jackie,

Thank you so much. I am about to take magnesium today, read up about it etc. I do take Vit D3 only no calcium, as my test was insufficient, Had another test and it went up to 85 from 45, still on it and feel a lot better for it. You would make a great doctor, and thank you again for making me feel good. I will ask Doc for other tests you mention.

Best wishes

Hi Digby, vit D puts up the calcium always, so depends what it was before treatment and is now. D is very important , but calcium in range vital, electrolyte, heart, kidney and stones etc, lots of things.So you do not have to be taking calcium too., unless calcium very low.

Best wishes,

Jackie
