RE: What tests should I ask my GP for?

[Guest guest]

Is this Dr W in B.

You need to ask your GP to test your TSH, free T4, free T3 and

test to see whether you have antibodies to your thyroid. You should also ask

for your levels of ferritin, vitamin B12, vitamin D3, magnesium, folate, copper

and zinc to be tested to see if any of them are low in the reference range. Once

the results come back, get these from your GP together with the reference range

for each of the tests done and post them here on the forum so we can help with interpretation

what these mean.

Can you write to me privately please giving me details of Dr W

and why he is no longer available.

Hi everyone.

I am a patient of Dr W who is now unavailable. He has sent my GP his notes

though and I am hoping to get treatment from him now. I have an appointment on

Thursday and I would like to know which tests I should ask him for.

Dr W said that my thyroid hormone was not getting to my cells.

I have been taking LDN from Dr W but, whilst this helps greatly with most of my

symptoms, it leaves me in a great deal of pain so I have had to stop using

this.

I have also ordered some Erfa but have not taken any yet in the hope that my

blood tests will give true readings.

Many thanks in advance.

Jackie
