if I went back to my doctor with a list of the tests would they do it??

If you're talking about the list that Greygoose mentioned:

TSH

FT4

FT3

TPO antibodies

Tg antibodies

vit D

vit B12

folate

ferritin

then no, certain tests aren't done in primary care.

You may get TSH and FT4 done, FT3 is only done when the lab deems it necessary (even when requested by GP), my lab does it when TSH is suppressed. TPO antibodies may possibly be done if the doctor/lab thinks it necessary, TG antibodies probably wont get done in primalry care. Vit D is often refused as it's considered an expensive test so you'd need good powers of persuasion for that to be agreed, the others may possibly be done. It's all down to the individual doctor/surgery/lab.

If you want them all done, without any hassle, then you might want to do what hundreds of us here do, and that is a private test with Medichecks or Blue Horizon.

Medichecks Thyroid ULTRAVIT or Blue Horizon Thyroid PLUS ELEVEN covers them all.

would the doc up my tbyroxine on my say so

Again, it depends on the doctor and what your blood tests say.

As explained in replies to your previous thread, she's saying normal because they're within range, but that's not the whole picture, you need full testing as suggested. Whether your GP will do those, and increase your Levo, as asked here, I answered in my previous reply above :)
