Blood results in - not convinced by their findings!!

Hello. I posted here approx three months ago detailing all the symptoms I've suffered for over 20 years which I personally have attributed to an untreated thyroid disorder in spite of my useless GP.

I finally had private bloods done (Medichecks - cost £169) but am not at all convinced by the veracity of their findings. There is no way I do not have thyroid issues.

Could my nightly dose of melatonin have affected the results?

What about my recently introduced l gluten reduced diet?

I drink a sickening amount of energy drinks per day just to remain upright so these could account for the high Vit B12 but I'm only surmising. They are also fortified with other vitamins - could this have given a 'false' negative result for thyroid issues?

It would help members to comment if you would post your Medichecks results complete with their reference ranges.

Please list any medications or supplements that you are taking, with dosages. It's helpful to know about these because relatively small doses of biotin (common in B complex pills or as part of a nail-hair supplement) can interfere with the results of some tests (it depends on the time of assay used in some labs.).

I'll start a new post as there's no facility to add a photo after a post has been posted.
