Which Blood test to go for, advice please.

Hi all. I am not sure which blood test to go for.

I have autoimmune hypothyroidism and autoimmune PA. I recently tested positive for Lupus/Sjogrens.

I saw a rheumatologist who said it was a false positive for Lupus because I already had other autoimmune diseases, and that there were no signs of active Sjogrens at present. Nevertheless, I still have all the symptoms, and feel unwell.

I would like to have blood tests to make sure my thyroid is responding to treatment, and to also make sure that I am not anaemia, or lacking in vitamins.can anyone advise what blood tests I should go for.

Thank you.

Medichecks Thyroid Check UltraVit or Blue Horizon Thyroid Check Plus Eleven, as SlowDragon mentioned in reply to your previous post.

Personally I would go for the Medichecks test as it includes Active B12 test whereas Blue Horizon does the Total. B12 test. Active B12 is the better test.
