hello,I had a blood test with gp surgery recently and asked for t3 and t4 to be tested as I have a soft swelling on right side of neck that comes and goes for about a month now,also have a red/purple mottled rash on front of neck for at least a year,maybe more.
so results came back and only TSH tested .I have been reading this site and decided to do MMH test,took advice ,tested at 9 am,fasting and am not taking any medication
TSH;1.34 mu/L (same as surgery one) (0.27-4.2mu/L)
FT4;16.8 pmol/L (12-22 pmol/L)
FT3;3.7pmol/L (3.1-6.8 pmol/L)
I have also been referred for a neck ultrasound which is on the 10th May,my recent hba1c was 145mmol,don't know if that has any meaning where thyroid is concerned.
I know these results are within range but would appreciate any comments,thank you
forgot to mention-anti bodies negative

thank you SlowDragon,no PA,I was diagnosed with not absorbing b12 by practise nurse,no diagnosis of anything thyroid,investigations only at moment,did test as advised-9am, fasting,I have had anti-bodies tested but looking through my blood test results they aren't the ones you mention,I SI b12 at least once a week,take folate and D,I use cyclogest 400mg as hrt
not on any meds for diabetes,metformin didn't touch my blood sugar,just made me feel grotty,all other diabetic meds gave me side effects and didn't bring sugar levels down either,I've lost a stone in weight over the past year and my blood sugar hasn't fallen,really don't know whats causing it ,doctors say to me doesn't matter what the cause is,treatments the same,I've been reading the paul robinson site about atrophied thyroid-very interesting-at least I've been referred for an ultrasound,that may give some answers(I hope!!)
yes I'm going to ask(in case I have missed them) whether I've have had the thyroid anti-bodies tested when I have my diabetic review next week,thank you so much for your help,I will update after ultrasound
Hi..... How often are you getting b12 jabs? Effects of low b12 can we wide and varied. This is often overlooked. Do you take a B complex as well as B jabs?I have to have b12 jabs daily to maintain myself.
Am not suggesting this is the cause of the swelling on your neck though. Am glad they are investigating.
Hi waveylines,thanks for your reply,I had been jabbing daily since last summer even tried 2mg a day for a while,titrated down to a couple a week for the blood tests,also take the health leads methylfolate daily,did take a multi b last year but gave up with trying different supplements as I'm just so tired of it all,sticking to b12,folate and d for now,these have helped me an awful lot and cleared up a lot of symptoms,but I still feel 'wrong'
Awww bless u. I'm still injecting daily.... Been 3yrs. If I drop lower symptoms return. I don't retain it.It really important with daily injections that you supplement with the other bs too.... As they all work together best. You just need a daily dose of some thing like Thorne basic B. B6 is the only one you don't excrete excess. I tried dropping my B complex but after a few months I felt dreadful so started it again... Feel much better. Just a thought.... x
I agree with you,think I'm going to have to make the effort and start jabbing more regularly-its why I started daily in the first place-bone numbing fatigue-and my physical system feeling depressed-thanks for that,the brain fog certainly gets in the way😬
Indeed. For me tremors, numbness, weakness etc didn't help. For a while I was twice per day but recently I've allowed it to drop to mainly once a day with some days twice for top ups. Seems mad to have to inject so frequently... Hey ho... It works! Also had to go GF in the end.... Then I hope after 18minths I'd be able to. lower B12 jab frequency.... No not really happened!
I thought I could get away with less jabs too,went and injected after your post and feel much better already,thanks for the nudge,will keep it going now,
Awww so glad it's helped. I think the thing is we are led to believe we won't need as frequent in time... I now think that's a myth.And good luck with the neck issue... Keep us posted
dontforgetcortisol, This will depend on when the blood was tested by MMH. It's my understanding that those affected have been notified.
If anyone has any concerns about the validity of their most recent MMH test resuts, they should email MMH for clarification: info@monitormyhealth.org.uk
