Good grief. Why not

When was test done. Have you actually seen GP since? If have and nothing done, then make an immediate appointment with different GP

You should be started on Levothyroxine, usually at 50mcgs starter dose. Retesting after 6-8 weeks.

Highly likely to have low vitamin levels. Ask for testing of vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12

Plus testing for high thyroid antibodies

i dont know why not started on medication and i have seen gp who has said thyroid results fine and the test results were taken 3 months ago and i have antibody readings of thyroid peroxidase antibody 375 (<34) and thyrolgobulin antibody 256.3 (<115) thankyou

3 months ago, that's terrible

Can you get an appointment with another GP in same practice ASAp

Presumably you feel dreadful

Suggest you consider putting in formal complaint about original GP
