On Thursday I have a telephone consultation with the GP who reviewed my recent bloods. I have never met her, so I have an open mind, but I guess neither of us knows what to expect from the meeting.
In preparation, I have consolidated all my bloods since diagnosis, but I am conscious the only notes appended to the latest set are connected to the Cholesterol section. Frankly, that's a mixed bunch, with the Total and LDL being high, but the HDL, Trigs and ratios being categorised as optimal, good or ideal, by the following website: http://www.hughcalc.org/chol-si.php . Along with some acronyms I'm not familiar with, there is a ?hypothyroidism note. That really surprised, and unsettled me, me as this was the first time I am conscious my TSH levels have been tested. The TSH is recorded as being slap bang in the middle of the published normal range, at 3.0.
I'm not sure what the outcome of the consultation will be, but if I am to have another visit to the vampires, I'd like some added value for me. I am totally asymptomatic, so I'm certainly not looking for any form of diagnosis, but if there's more blood to be drawn, what would you like tested? I'm thinking of my diabetes, not just this cholesterol/hypothyroidism potential highlighted by the last bloods.
Thanks as ever for your feedback.
