I got a privert blood test that show my That my THS is 1.05 and My Tf4 and T3 conferting very low. the doctor still won't do any thing for me. my symptoms have got worse. they test my B12 which came back as 292.
I'm see a privert doctor to get sort out who thinks I should be on B12. the only problem is were do I go to get my thyroid problem sorted out?

My B12 was the same as yours and is now around 1200 after taking sublingual B12.
What were your Free T3/4 results?
Unfortunately it is the GMC that insist that Dr Skinner cannot see a patient without a doc's referral. You can see a private gp to get a referral but this is all going to be costly.
I had my blood done there thyroid uk and my tf4 and t3 came back very out of rang and they won't take a note of the blood test. Lyn from thyroid uk has been very helpful. I got my b12 sorted it just the thyroid now.
My GP had no problem giving me a referral letter for Dr Skinner. He also took up-to-date blood tests which I sent to Dr. Skinner with the referral letter. I told my GP I wanted Dr S advice on how best to manage my thyroid.
