Tests before seeing private endo

[mountainice]

Hello again, I am taking your advice after my disastrous consultation with the endo this week and cancelling my private endo next week until I have done some Medichecks tests as there is 20% off at the moment. I thought I could either order Thyroid Check Ultravit or Thyroid Check Plus. This would be:

Ultravit: TSH; FT4; FT3; TGAb; TPOAb; B12 Active; Folate; Vitamin D; CRP-hs (Inflammation marker - though not sure what that is); and Ferritin.

Is that a good idea to have all of those ? I have had all of them with the GP except TGAb and CRP-hs; OR

Thyroid Check Plus which is:

TSH; FT4; FT3; TGAb; TPOAb.

Any advice from your goodselves would be helpful.

Ultra vitamin currently on offer at £79

Thyroid check plus on offer at £47

Your vitamins were tested in march ...so only 4 months ago

CRP is inflammation marker, not especially relevant.

Thank you. I rang the private hospital to ask if I should bring my GP tests with me or have some more done privately and which would be accepted and she was uncertain, so gave me the secretary's telephone number, but the message said she is on annual leave until next Tuesday. I will still have time to cancel my appointment once I have spoken to them on Tuesday.

I would definitely take copies of all your historic test results with you and get TG antibodies tested
