Hi all, just to say thank you for the replies I received a couple of days ago. Soz I been away from the forum but full of flu.

After speaking from someone from thyroid. UK and reading your replies, it looks like I might have something wrong with my pituary gland as my two main results were on the low side ( Free T4 Level = 10.4) and my (TSH Level = 0.95). So Pituary. Org.UK have sent me some infro for me to download and show my doctor.

They also suggest that my immune system is not working properly and that is why I've had cold/flu about six times so far this year.

My next problem I've got is my appeal for ESA but I haven't the energy. Do I or Don't I fight on with my appeal.???????

I get ESA as I have Osteoarthritis, Emphysema, Bronchiectasis, Scoliosis and other health problems. I also suffer Badly with depression..

Sorry, its so long and winded.

Continue your ESA appeal. If you can't work you'll be destitute otherwise. Contact your GP practice or local council and ask if a welfare advisor can help you with your appeal.

Hi maisiemoo14,

You really need to follow up on the macrocytosis (high MCV/MCH) that we discussed in your last question with B12 and folate tests. You can do this alongside exploring the pituitary angle, just please don't ignore it.

I'll just include a symptom checker that you can fill in and see how you score:
