Blood tests and medication

Hi everyone, so I spoke to the doctors, they want me to restart the levothyroxine so they’ve reissued it however they want to wait to retest my blood tests in 6-8 weeks to see where I’m at then with my levels. So kind of happy however they’ve only reissued 25mg tablets even tho I wanted to go up to 50mg. But I’ll take these for the time being and see where I’m at in April.

That’s a good start

Come back with new post once you get results after 6-8 weeks on 25mcg

Vitamin D at 31nmol was “insufficient”

NHS Guidelines on dose vitamin D required

Has GP prescribed vitamin D at 1600iu everyday for 6 months

Or were you already on prescription?

Folate and vitamin D will need retesting after 6-8 weeks too

I haven’t been prescribed vitamin D but I’m going to buy and use that vitamin D spray that was recommended for me
