Hello Very Helpful Souls,

So, I have my first Endocrinology appointment in the morning and have just got back the updated results.

The Consultant (V respected in his field at well renowned hospital) requested vit D and T3 both were declined by my local hospital as not enough supporting documentation to say why they were needed!

I feel i need to know what i should be aware of in regards to what dosage increase if any i need to expect/suggest. Do i look like a have a conversion problem? Would i benefit from T3? Should there be such a difference in TSH levels over 4 days between blood tests (although 2 hours difference in time of blood drawn?)

Thank you for your advice in advance.

I'll show my historical results first.

A bit of an update....

Seen the Endo this morning, V nice man. Still wants to go by TSH rather than just symptoms. We discussed my symptoms and on the basis that it could be other things too has requested Adrenal and other hormone bloods. He also ordered the original tests again which my local hospital didn't comply with. Which he proceeded to get the blood drawn there and then.

He suggested that my TSH should be withing 1-2 range but i said that until i feel im in optimal range i dont feel i can rule out that all my symptoms are Thyroid related and he seemed happy with that.

So all we have to do now is wait and see....
