Are you working on improving low vitamin levels

No folate or ferritin results?

Exactly what vitamin supplements are you taking

Request Endo test TSI or Trab antibodies for possible Graves’ disease

[Lollipop93 in reply to SlowDragon]

yes I’ve got 2000IU Vitamin D, cod liver and multi vitamin

I’m waiting for the results on folate and ferritin as doctor did that seperately and is testing my B12 again after the medichecks come back- should know them by next week and before the appointment

Hi Lollipop93

How are you getting on?

I think we were diagnosed around the same time.

Hope you’re feeling better

[Lollipop93 in reply to Heybella]

not good tbh saw the specialist she didn’t seem to think my results were a problem and so just told me to wait it out lol wonderful how are you getting on? X

[Heybella in reply to Lollipop93]

Ah really - they said this to me as well but it did turn out, that they were a problem!

Have you had your thyroid levels tested recently?

I had stomach pain (around belly button and below) acid reflux and also random pains in my chest/sternum at times - was quite painful.

And that was what took me to the docs in the first place.

Wondering whether your issues might resolve once your thyroid levels are normalised?

[Lollipop93 in reply to Heybella]

Symptoms sounds very similar to mine. The thing is my TSH was below range 0.1 and my ts3 was above range by 0.4 so I think I just had a bad endo what did they say for you in the end? What was your reading like? Xx

[Heybella]

TSH <0.01 and t3 started at .3 over the range. But it continued to get higher - not really quickly but it did climb. Have they retested you lately? What did they suggest you do?

The last time they tested me was 2 months ago, they’ve suggested nothing just literally wait it out so fed up. What did they do for you? Have you noticed an improvement?
