That sounds like a tsh test. You need to get t3 and t4 tests done and vit b12, vit d, ferritin, folate as well

With the reference ranges used for each. If your GP won't do them... But he has no reason not to.. Then you can get them done through this site

Hi I agree the 3 tests are essential. That tSH too sounds like it may be just over range, you always need ranges for any blood tests as different Labs often different, it does not matter, so long as you have the reference range.GP`s often say fine, when a bit out! Sounds like you are not borderline and need treatment.

Best wishes,

Jackie

Hi Antonia when you go back to the doctors as for a copy of all your blood results for thyroid and all the other ones like ferritin and whatever else you have done. Once you have got them, post them here for some good advice. Make sure that the reference ranges are on your print out too. Take care.
