/was: Re: TS3 - anyone here have it tested via NHS? -REBECCA

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Thanks for your speedy response. All very depressing as we always

seem to be an annomoly ! We are also one of those who has done well

on Calcium, which stopped my son's 'eye gauging' immediately (he

showed up low on the hair test for Calcium despited having been

supplementing for quite a few months).

So we should not have needed an extra test to check if iodine would

help if T4 was tested initially ?

I also need to find out what free Thyroxine is , I had presumed it

was T4. I will go and search. Also trying the contact you mentioned.

Retesting is a nightmare as he is getting more & more uptight about

blood tests. It is also hard trying to find someone locally to do the

blood draw.

He has been on selenium for a long time would this make any

difference to anything on the results ?

Thanks once again , I do appretiate your input.
