Consultant referral and other stuff

Recently had my regular 3 month TSH test and it seems that im still just within the range.

Yet again, seen another different doctor at the surgery as i can never get to see the same one. This doctor, even though ive been on 75mcg Levo for 6 months with my symptoms holding strong or becoming worse, told me they wont up my dosage but will refer me to an NHS endocrine consultant.

The doctor did however sort a second blood test for full blood panel.

14 things tested, 12 coming back as abnormal including B12, D, folate, ferritin, red count, white count, bone count, triglycerides and lipids.

Alot of the above test results i would/could possibly relate to being hypo (with hashis).

Due to this coming back as such, ive tried to get an appointment to discuss this with a doctor. The first available appointment is on June 28th.

The only thing that has happened is a text message from the surgery saying about cholesterol risks.

Do i just wait to see the consultant as i feel im banging my head against a brick wall?

Can someone give me some advice on next steps please?

Hello BiffAHiram :

I think you might need to rephotograph these results in smaller sections so that they can be read.

Not what you're looking for?
