Are you under the care of endocrinologist

You might need block and replace

Block with Carbimazole and replace with levothyroxine

Currently your Ft4 and Ft3 are too high

Vitamin levels poor what vitamin supplements are you taking

Yes went to an endocrine appointment a few days ago and it was a different doctor to the one Im used to - not that it makes much difference - I was literally in with them for 3 minutes - he said im slightly overactive but he wouldnt be treating it and to come back in 2 months.

Im taking Vitamin D spray every day, iron drops every day and Vitamin B12 - i think my Vitamin D levels have risen a bit as well as B12 and ferritin? I am pretty sure my GP wouldnt treat my thyroid either but I could try.

Hi, I asked doctor for carbimazole and showed them my new numbers but they said numbers arent much higher and wouldnt treat me. had an appointment with an endocrinologist who I havent seen before but he wouldnt treat me either and told me to come back in two months. Made contact with my usual endo and luckily he agreed to give me carbimazole and propranolol. I wanted to ask about the block and replace - when should I start the replace? What sort of range would I need to get my numbers down to? Thank you

It looks like you've gone hyper again. Have you made your GP aware?

Do you have a Graves diagnosis or is this Hashimoto's? What antibodies have you had checked?

Did you stop taking any vitamins prior to this test?

Are you also taking any folate as yours is low. Its usually recommended to take a good methyl B complex that has B12 & folate nd will help keep all the B's in balance. This B complex has all the right vitamins at a not unreasonable cost for 90 days supply. amazon.co.uk/Liposomal-Soft...

I can't comment on iron results but this post by Humanbean might help you understand them. healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

when gp tested thyroid my free t3 and free thyroxine were slightly lower than now so they have gone up - will try to speak to GP tomorrow with new results. I have only ever been told that I have thyroiditis - no other diagnosis given. Paused the vitamins before my new blood test. Yes i will get folate - have vitamin b12 and separate vit b complex but it doesnt have folate in it. Thank you
