Hidden Yes, you really need a full thyroid panel to include FT3 and TG Antibodies but you may not get them done by your GP.

Your best bet is to donate private test with Blue Horizon or Medichecks. If you get Blue Horizon Thyroid plus Eleven or Medichecks Thyroid Check Ultravit then the following are included

TSH

FT4

FT3

TPO antibodies

TG antibodies

Vit D

B12

Folate

Ferritin

Low nutrient levels can cause hypo like symptoms so it's a good idea to include those.

Come back with the results, include the reference ranges (important as ranges vary from lab to lab) and members will comment.
