Have just got a copy of my latest blood test results from doctors. Time wise this is 6 and a half months since starting on Levothyroxine.

[elaine_b]

Only shows Investigation for SERUM TSH LEVEL>>>>>RESULT 1.3miu/L (0.3-5.0 ). I also take 20mg of fluoxetine but am weaning myself of this due to terrible pains, mainly in legs. Is it normal to have to pay for a print out of blood test results from your doctor?. My doctor told me yesterday that they do not test for free T3 and if they referred me to an endo they wouldn't either. Any advice on where I go from here?

Hi Elaine

They are allowed to charge you - how much did you pay?

thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/NHS_In...

Are you having any other symptoms?

What dose are you on? Which levo? Do you always get the same one?

Do you take your levo with water only, at least an hour before food and 4 hours away from iron or calcium?

It is not unusual for them to not test T3, but did they not do T4 either?

This information will help people to better offer informed support...

Have you already got your referral? If not, we have a list of NHS Endos email me.... [e-mail]
