GP Update

Spoken to a sensible GP. Will put a blood form out tomorrow for iron, B12 etc and then look at increasing Levothyroxine by 25mcg. They did try saying about TSH being within ‘normal’ range, however I was able to talk about T3/T4 etc.

So thank you to everyone that has reached out and replied to me. I’m extremely grateful for all of your wisdom. Fingers crossed - onwards and upwards!

Horray 👏👏👏👏

Did you give them copies of these recent private test results that show very low vitamin levels

Obviously they still need to retest everything via NHS …..but well done ….you’re making progress

CRP 4.07 (<3)

Ferritin 31 (30-150)

Folate serum 5 (8.83-60.8)

Vitamin B12 Active 41 (37.5-188)

Vitamin D 37 (50-250)

TSH 2.36 (0.27-4.2)

Free T3 3.9 (3.1-6.8)

Free thyroxine 16.5 (12-22)

Thyroglobulin antibodies 16.2 (0-115)

Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies 31.4 (0-34)

Been left on just 50mcg levothyroxine months

yes, I sent the results. When I spoke to them they obviously said about the different units etc, so we’re happy to repeat the bloods.

Thank you 🙏
