Which tests?

Just after some advice. I have no thyroid and I'm currently on 200mcg of levothyroxine. I am considering getting some blood tests done privately as I don't think my dr will be too accommodating when I finally get an appointment to see them.

I've been doing some reading and research on here and realize I need extra things checking.

So which tests would you advise? (This is just in case. I hope to get an appointment within the next month or so!)

Blue Horizon Thyroid Check Plus Eleven or Medichecks Thyroid Ultravit

Both are the same and do a full thyroid panel including TPO and TG antibodies, plus Vit D, B12, Folate and Ferritin.

I know they can but last time gp was VERY reluctant to do more than basic thyroid blood test (before I was aware of the need for all of these).

As I said, this is just in case.
