Bloods today and I wrote what they are testing

[Michelle82]

Hi.

I had a lot of blood took today after pretty much almost forcing my gp to test other things after much research mostly from here re T3 etc. If anyone can advise if the below list is good/what they should be doing. I get my results Thursday

CRP

Ferritin

Free T3

Thyroid function

But B12/folate

Liver

Bone

Kidneys

Lipids

Thyroid antibodies

Vit D

Glucose

HBAIC

FBC

ESR

Coeliacs screen

Thank you

Seems ideal, but you may find lab won't do them all (especially FT3)

I hope they do as it's one of the important ones. 🤦‍♀️ I am seeing my gp Thursday aft. Do you think after I speak to her I should still post my results for them all on here? I don't trust any 'gps' anymore

[Michelle82]

Has anyone got any levels I can go off for when I get my results? I can imagine sitting with my gp and not taking in what she is saying!! 🙄

You are right not to trust GP's. We see so many on here you think you are 'fine' if results are in range and some that even if or those below the bottom of the range!!!

See SeasideSusie's post about supplements. She is spot on!
