Blood test results

[PurpleNails]

I was diagnosed hyper end of Nov 2018 and have since been diagnosed with toxic nodule.

The GP/endo never asked if I took any vitamins. I was previously taking a multi vitamin including iodine 200ug and biotin 45ug. Would this impact results significantly? I seem to be only marginally out of range for FT3&4.

Any other thoughts and feedback welcome.

You need to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12

Ask GP to test

These all need to be optimal for good thyroid function

Vitamin D is often very low if very over weight

Multivitamins are not usually recommended on here. Too little of what we do need and plenty of stuff we don't. At best they are a waste of money, at worst they are not doing you any good at all

Private tests are available. Thousands on here forced to do this as NHS often refuses to test FT3 or antibodies or all vitamins

Medichecks Thyroid plus ultra vitamin or Blue Horizon Thyroid plus eleven are the most popular choice. DIY finger prick test or option to pay extra for private blood draw. Both companies often have special offers, Medichecks usually have offers on Thursdays, Blue Horizon its more random
