Hello lovely ladies hope your all ok, I thought I wasn’t going to get my results this time ,which I will print out later,when I rang for a print out of my latest results the receptionist said hang on a minute when she came back she said I will send a message to the dr to see if that’s ok ,so I said well you haven’t done that before they normally just print them out,she said something had changed,but didn’t explain what what it was ,so I said so what do I do now, she said well you can ring up later,which I did speaking with a different receptionist who said wait a minute I’m just going to speak with my colleague when she returned she said nobody has said we can print them off,so I said well I haven’t had all this before when I had the other 2 print offs , so then I said you do know I am entitled to have a print out of my results, she then seem to change and said all right I will print them off for you,so thanks to you all for telling me I am entitled as before coming to this cite I didn’t know.
Well I can’t say I’m feeling any better seem to drop off to sleep some days ,I was up this morning at 9 and still felt so tired sat and had a drink and woke up 11-45 sat there thinking oh my god and then woke again at 1 o’clock haven’t any energy or up and go my body thermostat is upside down itchy skin and several other things I’m on 200 thyroxine taken as they should be taken , also vit d folate which have improved I was wondering now about b12 as there’s a note at the side of it and it’s going back to 2019 wondering if you could say what you think about that please,
Well I won’t keep on as I know you have a lot of us to deal with and need your help but have appreciated everything you have all done for me , thanks Pauline .
I hope they have all come through should be 4

So you have obviously been working on improving low vitamin levels
Ferritin was 46
Now much better at 72
Folate was deficient at 2.5
Now 14
Vitamin D- was ok just at 76
Now 118
But Ft4 and Ft3 are roughly same as previous results
Ft3 is too low
Which brand of levothyroxine are you currently taking
Has brand changed recently
You’re almost certainly going to need the addition of small dose of T3 prescribed alongside levothyroxine
GP not allowed to prescribe
You need to see thyroid specialist endocrinologist
Email Thyroid UK for list of recommend thyroid specialist endocrinologists who will prescribe T3
NHS and Private
tukadmin@thyroiduk.org
Roughly where in U.K. are you
Obviously at moment NHS has even longer waiting times than normal
Realistically looking at private consultation if possible
Some endocrinologist are doing consultations on zoom or phone …..sending your test results and short list of current ongoing symptoms before consultation
Private prescription enables access to Thybon Henning 20mcg tablets via specialist pharmacies in U.K. Typical dose is 5mcg taken 3 x day - cost about £11 per month
Thankyou for getting back to me I don’t seem to be able to take things in at the moment,I’m very worried as there were some replies saying they had shut my post off and I don’t know what I have done wrong please can you help with that
Can I ask would having a extra dose of thyroxine bring it up a bit more could I do that thankyou for all your hep oh and what do you think of b12 as well thanks again
I just want to thank you for all your help again, going off the subject when I tried to put my results on it wouldn’t let me put more than one page on was I doing anything wrong in the way I put them on also I can’t find them all , I haven’t had anyone else talk to me like the last time is it because it had been shut down will it get opened again thanks
Thankyou I’m still on teva lansaprozol I did stop taking don’t know if I should really start again ,other things I’m on are sertralin100,amiodipine5mg aspirin 75mg co codamol 30mg. Folic 5 mg vit d magnesium selenium I think that is it ,I’m not on lactose intolerant diet and not had any tests for it, I haven’t had coeliac blood test , I didn’t know I should be on a special diet thanks again
Thankyou I wouldn’t know about that do you think I could ask surgery if they could give me that answer ,although as I said had a bit of trouble getting these results, DIDNT they do antibodies this time I did ask them to thanks
Sorry to disturb you again but you said about antibodies and also to test for tosh ft4 ft3 I have just had them tested ,I keep wondering if I didn’t put all my results on and put something on twice ,
Thankyou for that I’ve just messaged Tara and was going to send her my results but I don’t know what happened I couldn’t do it so just sent the message but thanks again for everything
Recommend getting FULL thyroid and vitamins tested again before seeing any thyroid specialist endocrinologist…..especially if paying for private consultation
You need to know if you have high thyroid antibodies as this confirms autoimmune thyroid disease
About 90% of primary hypothyroidism is autoimmune
Strictly gluten free diet frequently helps or is essential and always worth trying
But get coeliac blood test done BEFORE cutting gluten out
