Hi
I've just been to my hospital appointment and got good news 'in a way'.
The consultant said I don't have Lupus as my blood results were OK.
However my Thyroid blood test were not normal.
My results were:
T3 2.97
T4 23.7
TSH 2.49
He said that he will write to my GP telling him to prescribe T3 for me.
The consultant said it would take a while to get me right and I may need my other thyroid and epilepsy medication reduced depending on outcomes.
Getting T3 prescribed sounds like very good news to me. 
I do hope so. Something positive at last. 🙂
Very good news 🤗
Has T3 been prescribed or is it that this consultant would like to see it prescribed?
If it’s been prescribed it would be nice to know the specialism of the consultant, just for curiosity.
The consultant told me he was going to tell my GP to prescribe T3. He was a medical consultant. It will probably take months for a letter to get to my GP though. I will check up next week and each week afterwards until I get my T3
GPs cannot prescribe T3. The best that will happen is that the GP will refer you to an endo who might agree to see you and then might agree to prescribe T3 (but some never prescribe it).
Can you get the consultant to provide you with a copy of the letter? Then you could research endos - start by getting the list of potential T3 prescribers from Thyroid uk and use the letter to push for a referral to the endo of your choice.
I will chase it if the GP says no. I've been too ill for too long to put up with anymore fob off's. The consultant said my results were unusual but he said I defiantly need T3 along with my Levothyroxine. He said I may need to have my epilepsy medication reduced as this may be why my T3 was so low. I said he would have to discus that one with my neurologist. I have asked to see a endo before but my GP said that I would have to have a rheumatoid factor to see one.
Very high results again and confused 
Blood results I'm confused about TSH😕
