Hi Babyjane , Thanks for your reply
I have been treated for an underactive thyroid for around 4 years now, yet have never felt well, the only tests that have been offered are the basic tsh, I have family history of thyroid cancer and hashimotos and do feel worried as I do have the symptoms, or at the very least a non converting T4. It would be just reassuring to know one way or another.
Thank you MaryG, you are right they are pretty clueless, but I know I won't get anywhere arguing with them, I guess some doctors don't like you to know too much. Where can I buy hrt online Mary? I may have to look into that.
SadLynda, oh no, what are the odds of him moving too!? that's great you had an understanding practice nurse, I hope you now are getting the treatment you needed years ago! You are probably right I should find a more sympathetic surgery, thank you.
Thank you CLKD, I really do need to change, the only reason I had tried and tried with this one was I felt a different doctor, same practice could have a different view (they didn't) also I may have got the same elsewhere.
The next nearest surgery is miles away, but I have just read you don't need to be the catchment anymore, or tell them reasons for wanting to change, so i'm a little hopeful again.
