You really should put all your information in one thread. People haven't got time to go chasing around looking for previous posts. Do you have any other results to add?

[Harvsmudge in reply to greygoose]

Once again sorry I have added some more results but once again havnt added as didn’t know how , I’m not clever at posting sorry 🙈 I had a full thyroid done with antibodies and pitituary blood test done as had a lot horrid symptoms had b12 vit d checked and all fine thankfully I’m waiting for mri on pitituary as fell off jcb as you do but thankyou

Well, it would be a good idea to get all your information together before you start typing. If you mistakenly leave anything out, you can edit your post - click on the downward facing button under your post and chose 'edit' in the menu - or put in the comments underneath the post.

So, you're thinking you might have Secondary Hypo? But your thyroid results don't suggest hypothyroidism at the moment. How long ago did you fall off the jcb? It might take a while to develop.

What exactly was your B12 result? If is was under 500 then it wasn't fine.

It was year ago last sept 2016 I fell off jcb broke foot aswell silly me ,got watery eyes blurred vision and other symptons

[greygoose in reply to Harvsmudge]

I don't really know how long these things take, but I would have thought that if you had Secondary hypo, it would have started to show by now. But your FT4 is just over mid-range, and your FT3 just under. So, they are totally euthyroid.

On the other hand, your Growth Hormone is low. Which is surprising. But that is not necessarily a pituitary problem.

Do you have hypo symptoms?

Yes been on British thyroid foundation to look at the symptons my hubby said did they write this bout you ha ha going to see an endo on Tuesday in London another private one who is great works at Harley street ,kings and guys too he is different to Nhs he goes by symptons not just the b results he a functional medicine guy feel like got cortisol round tummy hips legs hopefully he will know

Why did you have prolactin and growth hormone tested, was that on the NHS

[Harvsmudge in reply to Joanneconnor]

Hello I’ve got to have mri on pitituary I had private blood test the private practice did the tests don’t really know what prolactin is for ,Ive got to have adreanals checked too as feel like full up with cortisol watery eyes ha ha

My b12 was 707 and vitamin d was 65 so both ok I just didn’t know about how to read the thyroid or other tests 🙂 thought you guys were best to ask

[Joanneconnor in reply to Harvsmudge]

I’m having some bloods done next week for pituitary, I had private saliva cortisol tests done I was high from 9am till 6pm, I think I have lowered it as my symptoms are gone now. What is the growth hormone for? Adrenals? My b12 is 375 so bit low and my vit d is 37 and under 33 under range folate

[Harvsmudge in reply to Joanneconnor]

I don’t know ha ha will have to google it re growth hormon I’ve got to go to London to a lab first thing in morning in couple weeks to have adreanals blood taken as it quite sensitive I had my cortisol done too 9.30 am it was just under 400 yet I feel full of cortisol lost lot Weight got to be adreanals I’d imagine my that to me is low for bit d mine was 41 last year had 40,000 d3 aday for a week to raise it it horrid stuff

[Joanneconnor in reply to Harvsmudge]

I have my results on another of my posts don’t know how to link it was a graph, is your app private or NHS? My doc gave me 5,000 for 12 days, think he’s having a laugh! Idiot

[Joanneconnor in reply to Joanneconnor]

Think it’s called high cortisol

[Joanneconnor]

So you must have some symptoms of problems with pituitary to be getting these tests! My sis and I are getting our tests done next week as snort of genome DNA research, as were identical twins and I developed high cortisol and she got diabetes type 1.5 so there gonna look to see if I will get it too and see the differences too!

Hello yes been having horrid symptons ,all the blood tests I’ve had to pay have done private but mri pituitary gland through Nhs but they recon 5 months so might have to pay private again to get it done quicker ,yes it’s good your being checked I’m afraid round here they seem to not care or say Nhs won’t pay their on short money but when it comes to yr health and family that won’t wait ,when I fell off jcb they said you will heal my new dr gone mad and ordered the scan thought he’d do some test in surgery and no more but he ordered the test straight away but he did say there’s no such thing as any thing else just hypo or hyper and only goes by results not systematic symptons .
