Thanks for replying to my previous post guys.
It prompted me to ask for copies of the tests rather than accepting ... "They've come back normal."
When I said that I had been prescribed vitamin d ... That is over a number of years. The last time being in February following blood tests then.
I'm listing results that I see as unusual or pertinent.
The latest results I have for T3 and T4 are the only time I have been tested.
If you can comment further ... Or anybody else notices anything important ... That would be helpful and appreciated.
