A GP is a General Practitioner. Americans would call them a "Primary Care Physician" I think.

In the UK, GPs are the doctors you see for less serious medical problems that don't require hospital treatment. They also refer people to hospitals for specialist help.

You need TSH, Free T4 and free T3 every 6-8 weeks

Only need thease 4 tests?

My doctor did following tests

1.Serum anti thyroglobulin

2.Serum TSH

3.Serum FT4

4.Anti-thyroid peroxidese

Do I need more tests?

Are you mention are different from my tests?

You don't really need to do the antibody tests again: if they were positive you have Hashis. But you do need TSH, free t4 and free T3 every time - you do not have a free T3 result and this is the most important test.
