My Dr in USA says my lab results were with in range 3 months ago and won’t order more bloodwork!

Vitamin D 40 Range (21-100)

Ferritin 35 Range (19-291)

I am Hashimoto Thyroid

Been feeling v tired and loosing lot of hair, Alopecia Aretera.

I have two insurances.

No dr has ever refused to order blood work before. This dr is fairly new to me, old dr soon due to retire!

Am I being unreasonable asking for bloodwork?

Thyroid levels due for lab work this month.

Suzi_,

I am sorry no-one has replied.

Those numbers are low. If you are supplementing it can take many months for significant improvements to be seen. I'm not wholly sure how your system works but can you not have everything tested with your TFT's this month?
