Hi leanne. to help us help you it would be good if you could post all results with their reference ranges and details of any treatment you are getting - for instance you refer to low B12 but no levels and ranges or what treatment you are receiving.
It is really good that your GP has referred you to an endo so soon without you (presumably) having had to fight for the referral.
hi i am getting b12 every 10 weeks now as i get the symptoms back after 8 weeks i take 1 iron twice a day 1 folic acid and 2 adcal vit d3 tablets a day i also was diagnosed 3 year ago with reflux acid i take 1 opeprozole a day and i also for about 2 years unable to eat anything that contains yeast or yeast extracts due to causing candida if i eat it b12 n vid d is all recent withinn last 6 months and i feel like im getting worse x my latest bloods taken 12 nov

Can you get your so-called 'normal' results & post them here first so others can comment.
(you have the right to get your results & records btw)
Yep 'normal' too, so why am I here for one? Last TSH 5.12 - lab range to 5.5 where I live - in USA or most of Europe I'd be treated (Levo is the usual treatment for HypoT in UK).
Yep I was low in Vit D too & supplementing has helped a lot (took 4 months to feel better). It is basically because we don't get enough sunshine (put it in the search box).
Low Thyroid function tends to be connected to Low Vit D, B12 & other irons. It's worth sorting them out first and getting to an optimal level for you, not just 'within range' levels. (sorry I don't know about progesterone, another hormone like Thyroid hormone).
Are you on Vit B12 injections? as that deficiency indicates malabsorption in the gut/stomach. Sub-lingual (under the tongue) pills can help some folks 'tho.
I think you explained things well! Keep fighting! Jane x

Hi Make sure your "normal " results were TSH, T4 and especially Free T3. Free T3 was always done for a thyroid diagnosis. Now, it is not due to costs. When I was first diagnosed , many years ago, it was just my Free T3 which was very low. it was automatically treated in those days but without there being ant T3 , it was not so well treated, now it is easy once diagnosed properly. I had all the very bad thyroid symptoms ( hypo) including about 4 hours sleep a night,this was for years and was dreadful. I hope you get treatment soon.

Hi U`s and E`s and LFT`s are good. Ca will improve on vit D although takes a while that is good too and most of the others. However no mention of T4 or Free T3, see my previous reply.
hi jackie they will not test all these as tsh within normal range gp requested antibody test and they would no test so hoping endo will test all these xx
Hi leanne,, Yes if the endo any good, they certainly should and usually do test for T4 and free T3. You can pay for them and DIY, if all else fails. On TUk site, bloods, I use Blue Horizon as well recognised by medics, they are really TDL, same Lab as all the private hospitals use, so it is important that who ever you show them to knows the Lab, or may not accept them.. If you quote TUK 10 ( even if not a member) you can get the intermediate test for these 3 for about £ 61,( over £200 at a private hospital.)You do not need any authorisation and the results come quickly to you on line.Some GP`s , so I am told will do them for a very small charge but I have not come across one that does!I hope you are soon treated as, it does take a long time, with lots of repeat tests to get OK. The endo should also test vit D ( hormone, so their field) b12, ferritin and Folic acid, or accept the test results you have.,
