Help appreciated with my Blue Horizon blood test result - thankyou

[kell73]

Hi, here is my latest blood test results. I am not on any medication but am due for my 2nd appointment with endo next week to discuss their blood test results and to look at starting medication.I did a Blue Horizon blood test in preparation but results didn't come back in time for my consultation so just curious.

Many thanks

You need coeliac blood test if not done already

High cortisol levels should improve as you get settled on levothyroxine

Standard starter dose of levothyroxine is 50mcg

Bloods should be retested 6-8 weeks after each dose change or brand change in levothyroxine

Unless lactose intolerant, don’t start on Teva brand as it upsets many people

Retest vitamin levels every 6-12 months

Approx how much do you weigh in kilo

Thank you very much for your reply SlowDragon - I believe the Endo is doing an array of blood tests ( I have an appointment today for them) - at my consultation last week he also suggested I cut out Gluten to se if it helps and report back at my next appt (next week)I weigh 73/74 kilo
