They wouldn't not prescribe the necessary treatment for a thyroid condition,
Oh Dancinggirl, how I wish you were right about the above. Thyroid diagnosis and treatment in this country is dire. One of the worst there is. You have to be nearly dead to get a starter dose of Levothyroxine these days. Its got worse recently. The choice of medication is 1. The level of illness has to be almost non-functional to start treatment and then the chances of getting proper dose adjustment and care is close to zero.
I'd say it's worse than HRT. I suffer both. It's easier to get HRT and to try different HRT's. Thyroid is kiss of death on the NHS. A slow, depressed, fat, exhausted, lingering death.
I've had yet another gp appointment today where I've been told to loose weight. I didn't have a weight problem before I got sick. And I'm doing my best to make myself well despite the gp's, but I'm not even close yet and the thought of exercise makes me want to curl up and sob.
They think we are all bone idle wasters.
