Thyroid blood test results

[Anastasia17]

Hi all,

I have done a thyroid test via Medicheck. Although they have informed me that the results are within the norms, I still would like to have your input. I am pleased about the ferritin results, they used to be so low. Hope you can read it.Thank you x

Thyroid microsomal antibody assays using

semi-quantitative agglutination titres are no

longer available, and the more specific and

quantitative assay for antibodies to thyroid

peroxidase will now be the only assay used.

These assays are clinically equivalent and have

You need to edit this….it makes no sense

Ok. I will edit later on. Thank you. x

Instead of doing a copy and paste job just put the test name, result, range like this (random numbers as an example only):

TSH: 2.5 (0.27-4.20)

FT4: 15 (12-22)

etc

etc

Nothing else is needed.

Or you can add a photo of the results but zoom in on results only so they are readable and ensure no personal details such as name, date of birth, etc, are showing.

I was feeling very tired and dizzy the days before I did the test. I always feel cold too. I did a lateral flow test that came back negative. I am lightweight and always have been.

For information, I do take a vitamin D supplement;I am also on a gluten free, dairy free, soya, chocolate, caffeine, brown rice free diet. My body has always badly reacted to alcohol, I am the one driving everyone back home: it has its use!

I think my restricted anti inflammatory diet is what possibly helps me the most pre and post-surgery in decreasing the inflammation in my body.

My lowest ferritin level reached 7 in 2013, I was just given iron tablet that did not work. After that, i monitored my ferritin levels that usually were between 10 and 30 max. I have been diagnosed and treated (cauterisation at colonoscopy last October) for haemorrhagic colitis with neovascularisation associated with endometriosis. Uterine malformation. 1 kidney only. Widespread endometriosis finally excised last year after I put in place the necessary referrals to a top London NHS hospital to which I will always be grateful.

The main support from GP: 'There is nothing to be done for endometriosis, for interstitial cystitis, you have IBS (Diagnosed and treated endo on and around the bowels + colitis at top London hospital), here have some Citalopram, it will make you feel better.' A debacle and failure of medical care for a decade that damaged my health, my family, my life. I now organise my own medical care. GPs are not made accountable; they get away with it, I don't.

Thank you for your help. It is very much appreciated.
