I really appreciate anyoneâs thoughts I know there are no T3 or T4 levels as GP wouldnât test them which is so frustrating. As I mentioned previously I keep getting an intermittent discomfort in my throat / thyroid area Gp examined throat and thyroid fully and checked lymph nodes etc all seemed fine. Just wondered if anyone else had experienced anything similar and how they treat it can eat drink swallow etc normally isnât a pain & doesnât feel like something is stuck there just an odd feeling occasionally.
I have had a couple of thyroid scans previously and was told no signs of nodules or goitre but that my thyroid looked like a shrivelled up walnut ?
I take Vit d every day but should I be taking zinc and magnesium and maybe eating a couple of Brazil nuts daily for selenium?
any advice greatly appreciated. Thankyou in advance.

These are all the reference ranges that my blood results refer too. GP says all satisfactory? I know my neutrophils are slightly low they always are but other than that all other readings with in the normal range although a lot are nearer the bottom end of range. Thanks again for all yours and everyone elseâs help đ
With serum B12 result below 500, (Or active B12 below 70) recommended to be taking a separate B12 supplement
A week later add a separate vitamin B ComplexÂ
Then once your serum B12 is over 500 (or Active B12 level has reached 70), you may be able to reduce then stop the B12 and just carry on with the B Complex.
If Vegetarian or vegan likely to need ongoing separate B12 few times a week
Igennus B complex popular option. Nice small tablets. Most people only find they need one per day. But a few people find itâs not high enough dose and may need separate methyl folate couple times a week
Thorne Basic B recommended vitamin B complex that contains folate, but they are large capsules. (You can tip powder out if canât swallow capsule) Thorne can be difficult to find at reasonable price, should be around ÂŁ20-ÂŁ25. iherb.com often have in stock. Or try ebay
IMPORTANT......If you are taking vitamin B complex, or any supplements containing biotin, remember to stop these 5-7 days before ALL BLOOD TESTS , as biotin can falsely affect test results
In week before blood test, when you stop vitamin B complex, you might want to consider taking a separate folate supplement (eg Jarrow methyl folate 400mcg) and continue separate B12
Post discussing how biotin can affect test results
Eating iron rich foods like liver or liver pate once a week plus other red meat, pumpkin seeds and dark chocolate, plus daily orange juice or other vitamin C rich drink can help improve iron absorption
This is interesting because I have noticed that many patients with Hashimotoâs disease and hypothyroidism, start to feel worse when their ferritin drops below 80 and usually there is hair loss when it drops below 50.
