Prescribed NDT on NHS now doctor refusing to prescribe. Help!
I has to move GP Practise and before moving to current one I asked to speak to a GP. Receptionist said it wasnt necessary if a nhs consultant has recommended they will prescribe. So wouldn't get a doctor to phone me. I moved. All seem good but my repeats were not being set up. So became concerned.

Thyroid test results
I tested out of range high for THYROGLOBULIN ANTIBODIES & THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES. I have been told by a doctor I do not have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis as the rest of my thyroid results are in range, however I may develop the thyroiditis in the future. Follow up testing is the plan as other test

Swallowing issue
It's not a huge deal, but I seem to have some trouble swallowing lately (last month or so). Could that be related to my thyroid meds adjustment? I added T3 (15mcg) to my 75mcg Levo about 7 weeks ago. Or IS IT POSSIBLE to have a goitre inside the throat area that doesn't show on the neck? I do have Hashimotos

COMBINATION THERAPY IS NOW UNDER REVIEW
This review indicates how and why combination therapy may be used in treatment. Interesting in itself, but another example of cherry-picking evidence ( we aren't mentioned in spite of starting this concept in 2012. Good cliquish admission where the "nonprofessionals"are best kept well out of the limelight

Hypo and Menopausal

GP is trying to help but doesnāt really understand and still only goes by TSH. Do the hormones interfere with each other? I make

Anyone Know About Silent Reflux
Following on from my experience of asthma flare up I'm wondering if like Cade in his post about breathing problems whilst exercising, if I could have silent reflux.

Change dosage?
Iām currently taking levothyroxine - 75 4 days a week and 100 3 days a week. Latest test results are T4 17.3 (range 11-21.2) and TSH 2.43 (range 0.27-4.2). These numbers seem much more in line with similar numbers this time last year and Iām having all the same symptoms. Last year my dose was increased
