Thyroid check and Now rheumatoid referral can some help me with these results as this has now shown up and I’m at a loss as to where this is all leading! This is only place I get any help, thank you 😊

Suggest you get FULL thyroid and vitamin testing done privately

Presumably you are still not on levothyroxine?

Results 9 months ago showed high TSH, low vitamin levels

healthunlocked.com/thyroidu......

For full Thyroid evaluation you need TSH, FT4 and FT3 plus both TPO and TG thyroid antibodies tested. Also EXTREMELY important to retest vitamin D twice year when supplementing

Test folate, ferritin and B12 annually minimum

Low vitamin levels are extremely common, especially if you have autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's) diagnosed by raised Thyroid antibodies

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)

Private tests are available as NHS currently rarely tests Ft3 or thyroid antibodies or all relevant vitamins

Often cheapest if order on a Thursday

If TPO or TG thyroid antibodies are high this is usually due to Hashimoto’s (commonly known in UK as autoimmune thyroid disease).

About 90% of all primary hypothyroidism in Uk is due to Hashimoto’s. Low vitamin levels are particularly common with Hashimoto’s. Gluten intolerance is often a hidden issue to.
