Recent gp thyroid results

[Peroxideblader]

Hello ...i have posted before regarding my gp refusing to diagnose a thyroid issue. Covid put a stop to any progression but in my blood test yesterday for a different issue ( or not) he tested just tsh and free t4...can you look see what you think thanks

[Peroxideblader]

Forgot to say although it says abnormal the notes from the gp were all good no further action !

It could be central hypothyrodism. I’ll post a link to an article about it:

thyroidpatients.ca/2020/01/...

See if it describes your situation.

There are two others Dr Tania Smith has written which I will add:

thyroidpatients.ca/2021/05/...

thyroidpatients.ca/2020/01/...

The links are not working properly (people have been complaining about it) so I hope you can find them - very annoying. If you get on to the one that’s highlighted then put in central hypothyroidism in the search box they will all come up

Thank you I'll have a read

Yes very possibly central hypothyroidism. Do get a private test to see your T3 level as well as the others to get the full picture.

[Peroxideblader in reply to JAmanda]

I have tested t3 in my previous blood tests it's always bottom of the range too

[JAmanda in reply to Peroxideblader]

Then it’s strongly suggestive of central or secondary hypothyroidism. Have a good look round here for more posts.

[Peroxideblader in reply to JAmanda]

Thanks that's what I thought

Looking at your many previous posts with similar results, you obviously need a pituitary and thyroid specialist

Email Thyroid UK for list of recommend thyroid specialist endocrinologists...NHS and Private

[e-mail]

Some private endocrinologist won’t require letter of referral….

Many endocrinologist are currently doing consultations on zoom, so you can choose the one most suitable for you, not necessarily the one geographically closest

Gather up all your many previous blood tests

And a short summary of medical history and email to them before consultation

Presumably you are still working on improving low vitamin levels

Thank you. I'm takin a good b complex and iron as my ferritin is one off bottom of the range. I haven't tested my b12 and vit D for 2 years though. I will contact thyroid org regarding a zoom appointment it opens up more choice as sadly I'm in the north and many were in the south. Just so sick of feeling sick being ignored and told I'm ALL NORMAL and a hypochondriac

Hello after my blood test yesterday the gp didn’t won’t me to ask him questions about my hypothyroidism

[meme in reply to ioae4]

I expect that is because he does not know the answers! Can you get a second opinion ? Or a private blood test?

[Peroxideblader in reply to ioae4]

That's not surprising they are ignorant and useless I can't even get to see my gp their next appointment for just a call is 3rd October !! I saw a doctor through 111
