Endo tomorrow

[Sophiesmam]

Hi guys, it's me again. I've been to the gp today to collect my blood results (they said it's all fine). I'll be seeing the endo for the first tie tomorrow, any suggestions or views on these results?

My CRP is up but thats normal for me, they know there's inflammation, they just can't figure out where x

Still no FT4 - which I think were suggested in an earlier post. You mention the Medics have changed their minds about you having Crohns. As it was once suspected - then I do think you should have your Thyroid Anti-bodies tested for Auto-immune Thyroiditis - Hashimotos. Crohns is also auto-immune.

If you have gut issues then it would explain the raised CRP - perhaps you are gluten sensitive. It also explains the LOW Ferritin - Folate and B12. No VitD result I notice - perhaps that is coming later as is often the case With all those results being low - then it could suggest why you are having Hypo symptoms - as they do overlap in places. Mal-absorption....

Am not sure what the Endo can do for you - do hope it goes well for you....

Ooops ! - have just spotted your T3 result - it also look LOW.

My thyroid anti-bodies have been high for 2 years, the locum i saw a few weeks ago referred me as she said I should have been sent sooner. These were the only bloods I could get them to do, they're reluctant to do much these days

OK so you have Hashimotos. Are you gluten free ? It may help to reduce your anti-bodies What supplements are you taking ?

That B12 is much too low! Not fine at all!

I've just come out of appointment. He said all levels are within range so he won't do anything. He's testing all my other hormones (for ferrility) other than that he's prescribed counselling and exercise. He's also said that I don't need any more appointments.
