Hi,

Update from last posts. Have most symptoms - nhs blood tests TSH was 2.55 paid private and got the below result.

I sent my Medichecks results to my doctors and they’ve come back and said there is nothing wrong and if I want to discuss it I can have a telephone interview in three weeks. Can anyone please point me in the right direction to get help? I’m so sick and tired of feeling like crap!

Can I get help or do I just have to get on with it ?

As per previous post

GP should prescribe vitamin D at 1600iu daily for 6 months

And request GP test B12 and folate

coeliac blood test too

Retest thyroid again in 2-4 months after improving all four low vitamin levels and trialing strictly gluten free diet

Yes ...Active B12 is far too low

Serum B12 likely below 300

How shocking that your GP cannot read or interpret results.

Your TSH is over range and the FT4 so low in range indicating you are HYPO. The TPO Antibodies also confirm you have Hashimotos or auto-immune thyroiditis.

Active B12 is good around 70 and VitD around 100+ so both need supplementing. Thyroid treatment needed.

Am happy to make some suggestions if needed ...
