New bloods

So I'm back from the docs and he's testing me for what's in the pic! Are these a good thing? Not doing my t4 or anything again yet as he said the lab would bounce it back after only being on the Levo for 10days. He has upped my Lego to 50mcg as I'm still presenting new syptoms

Looks good Witchgurl31 - the four key vits/mins plus checking for inflammation. Plus an increase in Levo. A good outcome I'd say. Don't forget you'll need thyroid retesting 6-8 weeks after this increase in Levo.

I have to say my doctors do seem quite receptive to what I tell them ☺ I go armed with symptoms, suggestions and facts and I definitely think it helps. I haven't had to fight yet lol

It's to do with blood type. Someone can have blood type O+ for example, or O-.

The Rh Factor is referring to the + or -

I have no idea why your doctor would be testing this.

Have you been pregnant? Told your doctor you want to conceive? That could be a reason.

I've worked it out with help lol! It's rheumatoid factor because I'm complaing of joint pain not the RH factor to do with pregnancy! I'm definitely NOT pregnant lol
