We also need the ranges of results. Always get a print-out after you have a blood test and results and ranges will be stated.

The reason why ranges are required is that labs differ in their machines and ranges can be different.

As you are not feeling great you need more than a TSH and T4 blood test. Unfortunately doctors wont do more than those two.

TSH seems fine but you don't feel well and that is the number one of importance.

Did you have your blood tests at the earliest. Did you allow a 24 hour gap between last dose and test and take it afterwards.

GP has to test B12, Vit D, iron, ferritin and folate too. Deficiencies can also cause symptoms.

We are entitled to have a print-out of our results, by Law. So they cannot refuse. Sometimes we have to pay a nominal sum for paper/ink.

Not what you're looking for?
