Thyroid results, how do I approach this now?

Just received my thyroid profile results, see attached photo.

It's been recommended that is see my GP, however as everyone will know there is a lack of recognition by GPS regarding rt3 and I'm worried about being robbed off. Any advice anyone can give would be great.

Thanks in advance

Mitmystery It's very unlikely that your GP will know anything about rT3 so you could always ask to be referred to an endocrinologist, but there's no saying the endo will know much either.

Your GP might even dismiss your private results and even if you suggest he does the tests himself I don't think a GP can get rT3 tested although an endo may do it.

You can research and gather evidence and hope to persuade your doctor to look into it further.

Some links I saved when I was looking into it:
