Hello everyone,
Having dreadful experience with my GP and endo here in the UK, I have decided to go abroad to see an endocrinologist.
These are the tests I am going to have done: TSH, T4, T3, Free T4, Free T3, reverse T3, antibodies (TPOAb & TgAb), B12, iron, ferritin and folate; and of course an ultrasonographic thyroid scan.
Vit D level has been tested in December.
Should I do any other tests???
Any help appreciated, thanks
I hope you find a good endocrinologist. Other tests B12, iron, ferritin and folate if you haven't had them.
Thanks, Shaws. I have already got an appointment with a doctor that has a good opinion. I do hope that he will be able to answer a lot of my questions
Flying off on Tuesday, Wednesday morning the tests and then on Monday 1st Feb - the big day with an endo.
And this is just for me, because my GP said she would not take any notice of what a foreign endocrinologist has to say!
All the best for a nice flight and good blood test results. It doesn't matter what the GP says, as they usually only take account of the TSH only so at least you will have a BIGGER picture.
Thank you
