Doc not interested in my low results

She has agreed to an ultrasound for my neck lump/ goitre for "re-assurance".

But was very dismissive of the vitamin results because they are still in range. Wouldn't take forward Medichecks recommendation for Methyalonic Acid test.

I found out that my bloods for TSH were 1 six months ago, its now 2.16. (Don't know if that's of any relevance)

Feeling frustrated.

See a different GP and request testing for pernicious Anaemia

Plus dose increase in Levo

If they won’t agree dose increase you will need to see endo

Email Dionne at Thyroid UK for list of recommended thyroid specialist endocrinologists

Your B12 is very low

Alternatively get MMA and homocysteine tested privately via

GP will only prescribe vitamin D if under 50nmol. Self supplement to improve vitamin D to at least 80nmol and around 100nmol May be better

Retest twice yearly via

Should have read your previous post first

Can see you are not on levothyroxine yet

Good that you are getting ultrasound scan

Come back once that’s been done
