Thanks for posting...

Have you got the reference ranges to go with these tests please...?

Are you diagnosed? On treatment?

Do you have any other conditions or take other meds/supplements?

Did they do a thyroid anti-body test?

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

Potentially, depending on the reference ranges, your results all look low. This could be suggesting a pituitary problem or secondary hypothyroidism...

Have you ever had a head injury/whiplash/ car accident...?

I have asked for more tests, can you tell me what I need please? can you have tests for pituarity gland? what do I need for central/secondary hypo? thank you

[denvajade]

thank you so much, what is the test? is it a blood test? scan? I don't know if you have read my posts but I have a terrible stomach issue, all food causes my stomach too look 9months pregnant, could this have anything to do with central/secondary hypothyroid? will keep you informed.

Hi me again, been doing some research, I had an iron infusion about 7 years ago, iron overload may cause pituarity gland damage??????????????????
