Discussed result with doc of antibodies test - doc said it was up at 1000, confirming Hashimoto.
Took your advice: asked about Ferritin, B12, vitamin D.
Doc said all had been done in April, and all were in range....
Said she would do vitamin D on next bloods.
She suggested I stayed on 50 micrograms, but because I am still feeling ill and unnaturally tired, I pushed for more and we agreed on 75 until next bloods in 6 weeks' time.
Any comments or help would be very much appreciated, as this is all very new to me.
Thank you.
