Great news, now go to the endo armed with information, remember 1/3 TBI patients and 1/2 SAH have some endocrine problem...remind them of this if necessary. Hope you get some answers to your problems.

I did a bit of research before hand so i was armed with a few big biological words.

Think what clinched it was me handcuffing myself to the desk till he agreed!

Last bit was a joke

Got a referal to an endo today too, GP seemed really reluctant to refer me, it was only after I gave him a checklist of my symptoms that he changed his mind. Now so long as it's not another +4 months I might stay sane.

lol here's to this craze continuing...I think he changed his mind after seeing my list of symptoms vs. endocrine symptoms together with big bolded 'yes' and 'no' answers...leaving him with no ambiguity lol
