Not on any medication ,

I take a vitamin d and multi vitamin everyday and take a b12 complex at the weekend also on esomerpdazole too.

guessing my thyroid is fine, I am still quite tiered and achy but I managed to walk about 11 miles a week.

i suppose it’s just anxiety and stress not sure where to go from here.

No iron or ferritin results or vitamin D result

There’s no Ft3 test or thyroid antibodies

all thyroid blood tests early morning, ideally just before 9am

This gives highest TSH and most consistent results.

(Patient to patient tip)

Private tests are available as NHS currently rarely tests Ft3 or all relevant vitamins

Medichecks Thyroid plus antibodies and vitamins

medichecks.com/products/adv...

Blue Horizon Thyroid Premium Gold includes antibodies, cortisol and vitamins

bluehorizonbloodtests.co.uk...

Test early Monday or Tuesday morning (not in heatwave)

Are you vegetarian or vegan or gluten free or dairy free

[Prudypruds in reply to SlowDragon]

No FT3 or antibodies as it’s been tested before and it was fine.

July

Ferritin was 198 (30-400)

vitamin D 101 (50-9999)

Retest in another 3-6 months TSH over 2

You need BOTH TPO and Tg thyroid antibodies tested

If both are negative, an ultrasound scan of thyroid

[Prudypruds in reply to SlowDragon]

Both antibodies were negative, last thyroid test was in June, so October or November is best to book it then?

[Prudypruds in reply to SlowDragon]

So with all these test done, I’m guessing it’s stress and anxiety as everything is coming back normal?

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Prudypruds]

No if it were autoimmune thyroid disease starting ….levels go up and down

Retest in oct/Nov

Stop multivitamins a week before test as presumably contain biotin

Multivitamins not recommended on here anyway. Most contain iron, should take unless needed. Your ferritin is quite high

And iodine in multivitamin not recommended unless tested and found to be low

[Prudypruds in reply to SlowDragon]

I stopped all vitamins a week before in Julys test. I thought 200 is good as it’s in the middle?

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Prudypruds]

Well you need to get full iron panel test done

Iron could be higher than ferritin

Medichecks iron panel test

Test early morning, fasting, don’t eat iron rich meal night before test
