Hi ,
The thyroid does not sound too bad on treatment but you would benefit from a Free T3 tests as that was normally used a s part of the thyroid definitions and still worth having. however I doubt very much that would alter your treatment. The FBC, have you the individual results for the blood screening with ranges? I would ask for them. it is quite possible that your ferritin is low but it is not an exact test for that, there is a ferritin test. Also make sure you have had a vit D, follow on calcium if D low before treatment, important. Also B12 and Folic acid.they are useful anyway the main thing is to look at the break down of your haemaglobin test with ranges. I think then you may know what is going on. Incidentally, most Gp`s will not treat iron until down for 2 tests at spaces.I hope this gives you some ideas. Also you do not say how you are feeling which is also important.
