Hashimoto's

[Nottheshrinkingcapgrandpa]

I've posted before, but long story short, my GP won't do anything with regards to my thyroid. I have PCOS and have my yearly appointment for that this week (I take metformin), and I intend to piggy back on the appointment and talk thyroid with them.

My last 3 set of bloods were:

THYROGLOBULIN ANTIBODY showed you have Hashimotos and your TSH shows it's working very hard to stimulate your thyroid. Get a referal to an endocrologist and def don't delay investigating b12 for PA and dont supplement until you are tested for instrinsic factor and pernacious anaemia.
