What labs should I ask for. It's for a complete thyroid analysis.

I want to call my doctor and ask her to order those labs for me. Thank you so much.

Chris4810,

A full thyroid panel would be TSH, FT4, FT3, thyroid peroxidase antibodies and thyroglobulin antibodies. Your GP probably won't be able to order FT3 or thyroglobulin antibodies. You can order private thyroid panels via thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/testin... Medichecks do #ThyroidThursday discounts.

Chris4810,

There is no cure for Hashimoto's which causes 90% of hypothyroidism. Levothyroxine treatment is for the low thyroid levels it eventually causes. Many people have found that 100% gluten-free diet is helpful in reducing Hashi flares, symptoms and eventually antibodies and delay in the progression to hypothyroidism.
