Pituitary ok

[Lillygirl66]

My doctor did the bloods last week and I don't have any issues with pituitary.

Just waiting for results from private endo now.

Previous results from Blue horizon 5 months ago

And from Medichecks 6 months ago

Both show you are hypothyroid with very low Ft4 and Ft3

Obviously TSH not reflecting this...so some degree of central hypothyroidism

Ever had any head trauma, whiplash, or massive blood loss after giving birth (Sheehan syndrome)

Have you seen endo

Have you had ultrasound scan of thyroid?

20% of Hashimoto's patients never have raised antibodies

Paul Robson on atrophied thyroid - especially if no TPO antibodies

Thanks Slow Dragon.

Had the blood tests done Friday from the private endo and he's checking everything. And that's from my telephone consultation on the 16th with him so waiting for the results to come back from his request and then another consultation with him about results

Doctor said she spoke to another endo and he said my T4 was fine and she said she would check these three things that's in my photo and she text me to say my pituitary us fine.

So GP’s endo obviously needs to go to Spec Savers ....

Ft4 was below range in first test and at bottom of range in second test

Admittedly Ft4 was slightly improved in second test

Edit: but Ft4 back below range in recent test by NHS private test company

But your doctor/the NHS clearly doesn't want you to know how good or bad your results are because no reference ranges have been given on your results. Saying something is "Normal range" is being extremely economical with the truth. What people really need is the actual range - the numbers themselves.

Humanbean that's what I thought.
