Help on blood results please

3 Replies

Hi

I've just had my blood tests results from BH and they have said that my TSH is high & I should retest in 3 months.

I had my TSH done back in March by my doc & this came back as slightly high but within their stated range, so doc said everything was normal.

Would anybody be able to tell me if I should be insisting on medication from my doc or whether these results are ok.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you

IPD22,

You should ask your GP to retest you. If TSH is over range he can make a diagnosis and commence treatment. Arrange the blood draw early in the morning when TSH is highest and fast (water only) as TSH drops after eating and drinking.

Thyroid antibodies are negative for autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's).

B12 is low. PA Society recommend 1,000 is optimal. Supplement 5,000mcg methylcobalamin for a couple of months and then reduce to 1,000mcg. Take a B Complex vitamin too.

Thanks for the response. GP is less than helpful which is why I paid for my own tests, unfortunately unlikely she would test me again. She only allowed the one in March because 'she wanted to prove me wrong!'

Ipd222,

You should show your GP the BH results and request retesting as BH recommended. If your GP won't test ask another GP at your practice or change practice.
