Welcome to our forum and thanks for your blood test results. You didn't put your thyroid history in your profile so when were you diagnosed? What dose of medication have you been given?
If you email louise.warvill@thyroiduk.org and ask for a list of private doctors and NHS Endos (they may not prescribe dessicated but it's worth a try as they are sympathetic).
We should aim for a TSH of 1 or below or even suppressed but GP's appear unaware of this and keep patients 'within range'. It does sound from your symptoms that you are still hypo.
Was diagnosed with pyroluria (b5 and zinc defiency)
I try to eat mostly paleo. Take a droo of iodine everyday
Nothing makes a difference, currenty trying a parasite cleanse
Maybe candida/parasitez are stealing minerals from my food
I had MERCURY fillings from age 9 to
And i know mercury fillings pretty much damage the pituitary/hypothalamic and thyroid/. I also only use fluoride free toothpaste, as fluoride is antaganostic to our thyroids iodine etc..
Standard GPs dont seem to know jack... Id like to try desicated t3 t4, but where to find someone who can prescribe.. Its a damn joke...
You are obviously trying to help yourself by taking minerals etc. Also ask your GP to do a B12 blood test, Vit D, iron, ferritin and folate, just to make sure these are at a good level.
I still haven't received the list OF thyroid doctors in ENGLAND, when will,i receive them. Can someone send me. See this is the problem Witt getting treatment no ones told me where i can see a thyroid doctor....
I think, like many people who are experiencing symptoms, it is a possibility given he has treated all the other possibilities he can think of. It is possible, given that his T3 and T4 are low in range, that his thyroid is not functioning optimally. Although his tests are within range they may just not be right for him. A bit like me waking up being 5ft4 tomorrow morning - it's a perfectly respectable height within the normal range, but it's not right for me Sometimes a trial of thyroid hormone is the only way to find out for sure (this sometimes relieves symptoms of other conditions such as fibromyalgia too) but I do see your point. At first it does not seem to make sense
If you get your thyroid tested every 6 months to a year you may find that your thyroid function drops. It would be a good idea to keep a record of all thyroid tests so that you can show your doctor any trends. It may be that you find a doctor who is quite sensible and realises that your thyroid is starting to fail and realises that it is better to start treatment sooner rather than later to avoid worsening of the condition.
then explore the rest of the site which has a lot of information on aspects of thyroid diseases. on private testing and private doctor lists are also available.
Could you please explain further about "Take a droo of iodine everyday "?
Like what sort? How much is in a drop? Why are you taking it?

Hi amangeeza I know your B12 was 700 but did you have the active B12 test or serum b12? Your symptoms do sound a lot like B12 deficiency, save for perhaps the weight gain mind you. Just a thought.
Ah well perhaps you might be interested in reading the link explaining why the serum b12 test is not paritcularly useful in detecting B12 deficiency. This is a decent site for B12 too
