Sammyt222,

Thyroid peroxidase antibodies are positive for autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's). There is no cure for Hashimoto's which causes 90% of hypothyroidism. Treatment is for the low thyroid levels it causes. Many people have found that 100% gluten-free diet is helpful in reducing Hashi flares, symptoms and eventually antibodies.

Ferritin is deficient. This can indicate iron anaemia which can cause heavy periods. Ask your GP to do a full iron panel and a full blood count to check.

Folate is deficient. My GP prescribed 5mg folic acid for a couple of months to correct folate deficiency.

VitD is severely deficient. I was prescribed loading doses of 40,000iu ProD3 daily x 14 followed by 2,000iu daily x 8 weeks which raised vitD from <10 to 107.

VitD and iron tablets should be taken 4 hours away from Levothyroxine and T3.

B12 is low. Signs of B12 deficiency are in this link b12deficiency.info/signs-an... Ask for advice on B12 and folate deficiency on healthunlocked.com/pasoc

thank you i will go back to gp and see what he says.

Sammyt222,

If your GP tries to prescribe 800iu vitD refer him to NICE CKS VitD deficiency in Adults - treatment in cks.nice.org.uk/vitamin-d-d...

You may want to ask PAS forum for advice before seeing your GP.

iron panel showed low iron and complete blood count showed low mcv and high mchc so would i need iron?

[Clutter in reply to sammyt222]

Sammyt222,

Yes, low MCV indicates iron deficiency anaemia.
