Had blood tests as I have been feeling dreadful (very lethargic, struggling to lose weight, brain fog etc). As have family history on my mum's side of thyroid problems, the GP requested antibody test as well as TSH and has come back normal for TSH (wouldn't give level) and positive for antibodies. GP said this means I will likely develop thyroid problems but for now it is just something to monitor as my TSH is normal. Vitamin D was a bit low at 39 but had increased compared to 2 years ago when it was 16 (was given a 6 month course of Vit D). Also slightly anaemic so have both Vit D and Iron.
To get to my actual question(!) if I went privately to get T3 and T4 tested, if they did come back out of range/abnormal, would the GP do anything? I'm happy to pay for the blood tests, but it seems a bit pointless if it's only the TSH that really matters for medication.
