Hi
GP didn't want to give me any meds in case it masked anything for when I see the specialist. Free T4 is 7.6 (ref range 8.0 - 18.0) and TSH is 1.486 (ref range 0.340 - 5.600) suggesting a pituitary problem. My B12 is at the low end of the scale too at 375. Saw Occi Health today at work - recommended to my manager that I work shorter days (using annual leave or reduced hours/reduced salary) in the short term as high risk of being signed off work due to symptoms - hoping the symptoms can be reversed.
