Visited GP today - Told Urine tests for Thyroid were useless - Advice please

[Guest guest]

I visited my gp to show her the results of my Genova Thyroid 24 hr urine test.

My result for T3 was 323 pmol/24h ( ref range 592-1850)

T4 369 pmol/24h ( ref range 347 - 1994)

T3: T4 ratio 0.9 (ref range 0.50 - 2.00)

I was told that the urine test is no good as it only shows what is excreted from

the body not what is " actually availble " and that blood tests are the only

reliabe source.

My previous blood tests are in the " normal range " . I was advised that she does

not feel that I have a thyroid problem and that it is not causing my

fibromyalgia symptoms. I can however have my thyroid bloods tested again (

Thyroid function, Free T3 and free T4) and she maybe consider referring me to

see an endo.

I did not even get around to showing her my cortisol test results ( I was so

upset and was trying to stop myself from crying).

I just dont know what to do, I have at least 32 symptoms of the hypothyroidism

checklist.
