Guest guest Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Rang for my latest blood test results today. I am on T3 and-yes, again the lab have failed to do anything more than TSH despite my GP scrawling what he wanted on the form and putting astericks alongside saying I was being treated with T3 . I rang the lab and the local jobsworth told me it was a TFT and I could not be given my results cos it was against their protocols. Just to hide the fact that they hadn`t done it. I rang the surgery and asked for my GP to be informed urgently.The tail is nodding the donkey and I have told the doctor the last time it happened that the labs are not my doctor It was my intention to post the results here and then see the GP. As my TSH has risen from 1.2 to 4.5 in six weeks, I dread to think what the T3 and T4 results will be-when they deign to do them. I have been on 20mcg T3 since 18th November with no T4 since the end of November.I cannot be getting much thyroid hormone at all,yet the weird thing is my mobility has been a tiny bit better so the T3 must be doing some good and the levo-thyroxine must be out of my system just about now. I have been to dermatology about a scalp scab which seemed infected. I have thin hair and hair loss so it is visible.They have done a couple of biopsies to find out what is going on,they suspect either a deep infection or a minor skin cancer. They also intend to investigate some iritated hair follicles. They swear there is nothing endocrine involved but I am dubious.Has anyone else had this ? Is it thyroid related ? I cannot find anything specific Any comments welcome. Happy New Year to everyone. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
