Hi buma..... I'm no expert but your T4 is the lower end of the range. Does your surgery test for T3? It's very hard to get a full picture from just two results. I would repost giving your blood test and let the more knowledgable advise you. Sometimes a post get lost and you need to post again. I had very dry skin until I started on T3 meds and Low libido. But I'm not enough of an expert to advise you. If those are the only bloods your surgery does they only show a small part of the picture. So re-post and the more knowledgable will help.... good luck

Pixielula thanks for ur reply I did tell the doctor I wanted a full blood test b12 vitamin d etc he told me he wouldn't give me one wen I asked him why he told me I didn't need it doing......I'm seeing another doctor tue I will tell him/her.

I'm so absent minded and so forgetful it's scary,I also have dry skin shit nails.always freezing cold hands. Can't stand the heat either not that it matters now lol.

The things we have to suffer this day and age it should not be happening.

That's a typical Gp response to stick a band aid on the problem rather than investigate it. I know blue horizon do a good test other members have used it and it's not terribly expensive. But I think if you are being medicated and still having major problems that you didn't have before. You need a complete panel done. Vit D B12 ferritin folate T3 T4 maybe reverse T3 and reverse T4. It's all very complex and I'm still learning myself,

Your username suggests you are hypo, and so do your symptoms. It sounds as though your are undermedicated, so if you can get hold of your latest blood test results someone here will advise. Best of luck!

Hi. Female here. I was googling hypo and testosterone level and stumbled on to more sites for males. I thought you might find it helpful.

I do believe there is a connection. Check your shbg too? I've read that a lot in forums.
