Anyone heard of this? My thyroid tests are normal my ferritin is I think low at 29 and I'm in vitamin d3 from dr for deficiency.

I was wondering if the high bp is connected to my thyroid and came across this. I also feel I have water retention with my weight gain

Thyroidmeg, Wilson's Syndrome isn't recognised by the medical profession. Dr. Wilson uses it to explain someone with hypothyroid symptoms although thyroid levels are euthyroid. It

You are hypothyroid because you've had a thyroidectomy. You may need to tweak your dose or meds. You posted earlier that TSH is 1.23 and FT4 19 but there is no result for FT3. I recommend you have a private thyroid test to check FT3 from Blue Horizon or Genova via thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/testin...

Thyroidectomised patients don't always convert sufficient T3 from Levothyroxine only and may need the addition of Liothyronine (T3).

Hi yes I spent yesterday asking for that test but they're more keen just to accept tsh. My tsh has got better it was 2.5 last year.

I'm going to use blue horizon but I've got car insurance this month so will need to check my finances :)

Thanks for the advice :) I go to these appointments and turn into a quivering nervous wreck I think it's the effect of being labelled normal ;)
