New to group with a TSH result of 10.49 - a couple of questions

[Guest guest]

My sister and mum are being treated for thyroid disfunction. I've been unwell

for a few years but recently felt worse with cysts, mouth ulcers, pains in feet

and more symptoms... . My sister (also a member of this group) said I need to

get my blood checked.

I have now had four sets of repeating tests with the results of High Platelets

and the last TSH result was 10.49. I'm back at the GPs next week and need to

know my rights. Am I entitled to demand a diagnosis and treatment immediately?

The test were a few weeks apart but the TSH level has now increased to over 10

so I'm unsure on where I officially stand?

The GP also put in for another test on my antibodies so do I have to wait for

that or should I now press for treatment and official diagnosis?

My sister said if I'm diagnosed and treated I'm then entitled to free NHS

prescriptions so if the GP prescribes for me on my next visit what do I do to

register for the free prescriptions?

Thanks for any help and advice.
