I have decided to get my own blood tests as I am going to have to wait 3 months to see an endocrinologist. I looked into going private but as non in this area will then convert to NHS it's a non starter as I can't afford it.
I take 100mcg of Levo at the moment (and have been for 6years) my TSH is 1.1 but I still have all my symptoms very tired very low weight issues hair problems nail and skin problem and can no longer remember what "normal" is.
I have been amazed by all the stories I have read and have found comfort in knowing I'm not on my own.
I have decided to get blood tests done myself and would just be grateful for any help with this. Where how and what to get tested.
Thanks in anticipation
