So sorry for all my questions. A very kind person on here suggested I get tested for vitamin deficiencies ...Vitamin d folate B12 .... are these vitamins something my local GP can test for or will I need to find some alternative practioner ? Thank you

Your GP can do them if he is willing, some will, some wont. You need vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12.

If GP wont do them the cheapest way is with one of our recommended labs and a thyroid/vitamin bundle is about the cheapest way of doing it.

Medichecks has a special offer from now until midnight on Monday 29th April with 20% off all tests across the board. Have a look at their THYROID CHECK ULTRAVIT which covers everything

Thyroid Check ULTRAVIT medichecks.com/thyroid-func...

It can be done by fingerprick (2 x microtainers each requiring 0.8ml of blood) or you can arrange venous blood draw if preferred at extra cost. If you take a B Complex containing Biotin or Biotin as an indiviual supplement, leave this off for 7 days before testing, also if you take iron tablets leave those off for 7 days and don't eat high iron foods such as liver, liver pate or black pudding in the week before testing as ferritin is included in the test.

Thank you.x you are very kind lady to help. I appreciate your guidance. I will ask my GP first see what she says although she has only planned to recheck my thyroid again after 3 months.
