Mother with Hypo symptoms..please recommend NHS tests.

[Guest guest]

Hi..my 70 year young mother has numerous HypoT symptoms dating back at least 30

years,the severity of symptoms worsening over time..her sister was diagnosed

HypoT 40+ years ago..NHS docs always insist bloodwork is normal,nothing

wrong,just your age ma dear & send her on her not so merry way.

I was diagnosed with CFS 15 years ago,recently self diagnosed via Genova tests &

signs/symptoms as having HypoT & adrenal fatigue,my sister also has the same

symptoms/signs as myself & my mother so there is definitely a family pattern.

I've convinced her of the necessity of further testing..she's seeing her GP in

the next few days due to increased fatigue,dizziness,brain fog etc...I'm going

to supply her with a list of tests she needs to ask her doctor to perform..so

far that list includes Thyroid panel,iron panel including

ferritin,B12,folate,Vit D,magnesium,copper,zinc..as she cannot tolerate wheat I

believe a test for possible coeliac is also necessary..are there any other NHS

tests essential to have done at this stage,she had a total hysterectomy 25 years

ago so would estrogen/progesterone be a good idea?

I'd appreciate your thoughts...

Thanks for your time~Andy~
