Thanks Amanda, Joziel and Sunday Girl, I really do appreciate the guidance and your expertise.
It's so interesting that TSH can be in range but T3 which my GP can't get the lab to test, is out of range.
I definitely think mine varies and is linked to my menstrual cycle, the "good" GP describes it as a brewing overactive thyroid. I think it's been teetering on the edge since 2016 and now taking HRT has pushed it either closer to the edge or over the edge - or it was because it was already overactive which is why I ended up on HRT as I couldn't cope with the symptoms 🤷♀️
GP on Monday, then I'll get the full panel of bloods done privately and make the decision about the private referral.
I don't have the ENT report yet, my county doesn't use PKB as far as I can see.
Once I've got that and the blood results I'll post on health unlocked.
I don't like to say it, but whilst my heart rate is elevated as it usually is at this stage of my cycle, I think I feel ever so slightly less poorly this week (since before the scan so I don't think it's the relief of that). I'm at 5 weeks off testosterone so whether that's helping or something else or I'm imagining it - dunno this stuff really does fry my brain!
