obviously she needs to get TSH, Ft4 and Ft3 tested
Plus thyroid antibodies if never been tested
No vitamin D or ferritin results either
Once she has results, suggest you help her set up her own account on here
Recommended that all thyroid blood tests early morning, ideally just before 9am, only drink water between waking and test and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test
This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip)
Private tests are available as NHS currently rarely tests Ft3 or all relevant vitamins
