Hi I am looking for any advice regarding normal blood tests for my thyroid. I have all the symptoms of a thyroid problem and have suffered for years. I have chronic fatigue, feeling cold, hair loss, joint and muscle pain. Could it be that the tests would come back normal even if I do have a problem? I am 60 now and have suffered for years with no one being able to tell me what is wrong with me. I would love to feel normal especially now I am getting older.
I look forward to any help you can give me.

Medichecks Thyroid or Blue Horizon 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
Recommended on here that all thyroid blood tests should ideally be done as early as possible in morning and before eating or drinking anything other than water .
This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip, best not mentioned to GP or phlebotomist)
Folate is slightly low. Eating more folate rich foods...eg cabbage, salad, watercress, greens
Vitamin D on low side
GP will only prescribe to bring vitamin D up to 50nmol. Aiming to improve by self supplementing to at least 80nmol and around 100nmol may be better .
Government recommends everyone supplement October to April
