I haven’t been officially diagnosed and I just get fobbed off all the time a gynaecologist said a few years ago that I probably have endo and that was the end of it. I asked my gp to refer me to gyno a while ago and she said no. She said that the meds I was on (cabergoline for my prolactin levels being

Hi everyone, I’ve been taking my thyroxine (100/125), with all my morning meds + tiny bit of food, followed by breakfast 60-90 minutes later for 10 years and my endo says this is fine. I can’t say I’ve ever felt the thyroxine’s made any difference, and lately other major health problems have begun
