You have only had TSH tested according to that. It's not enough. You need the full thyroid panel
TSH
FT4
FT3
Thyroid antibodies
Even if your GP requests them, you are unlikely to get FT3 and thyroid antibodies done. Some labs only do FT4 if TSH is out of range.
A TSH of 2 wont get you a diagnosis, all it will get you is your GP telling you that you're "normal".
If I were you I would do a private test with Medichecks and Blue Horizon. And for the full picture I would do a Thyroid/Vitamin panel, get it all done at once.
Medichecks Thyroid UltraVit medichecks.com/thyroid-func... and this is excellent value at the moment as it has £20 off the normal price.
Blue Horizon Thyroid Plus Eleven bluehorizonmedicals.co.uk/t...
Both have a choice of fingerprick test (2 small vials of blood each containing 0.8ml) or venous blood draw at extra cost if you don't think you can manage the fingerprick test.
