Just a heads up, in case anyone else comes across any comments - had a chat with my gp last Fri, about the situation regarding T3 in my area. I am still getting it on the NHS but get anxious every month - 'is this the month they will say no?' This anxiety not good when the adrenals are not great. So decided to ask.
It has not been 'banned' in the area at the minute...'when' it is... So interesting that used the word 'banned' and not if but when! Appeal and private will be the next steps. Interesting he did not mention referral?
But - the main point of this post is that I was also asking about having Vitamin D and Iron checked. Bit D was very low a few months ago, was put on high does and told to source a good maintenance dose afterwards. So just wanting to see if the Vet D I'm taking is enough. No record on my file of any of this? [think it was a hospital test result but the Vet D was issued by GP surgery] And I have 'signs' of low iron, having had this many times before. GP checked records, had iron checked in 2017 and was fine then? 18 months on assumes still fine??? However, he did say that there is discussion that questions the point of testing vitamins and minerals. So possibly the next chapter....
