had bloods done last week and called friday for results and thyroid came back at 8.32 and there was a note by it saying see Dr H, hes the really good dr so im going to ask for liquid thyroxine as felt ok on that, no point asking for T3 as we know the answer to that one, may even try for tirosint but have a feeling the answer will be no

also need to get scan results on fibroids and have a chat about the pill sexual health put me on as its a progesterone only one and from what ive seen on looking it up is that it makes fibroids grow and im having enough trouble with them as it is and they are only small

need a chat about my diabetes too as they only tested flouride glucose and not HBAC1

hopefully iron results are in too

not sure what else was tested but there was 4 bottles

hopefully will get print out as when i asked on phone she said they were having trouble with the printer

TSH is high at 8+ so I hope GP is amenable to your suggestions.

Dr agreed to put me back on liquid thyroxine

ferritin is now 45 (30-300) but i will continue to take gentle iron twice a day

I am glad you've got liquid thyroxine, obviously it works better for you than tablet form.

I hope you feel better soon.
