What did you do after reading our information? - Thyroid UK
I learned a lot from your website and felt supported in my resolve that I must surely be able to get well. The stumbling block initially was the 'one size fits all' levothyroxine and it was a struggle. I also looked at Dr John Lowe's site also STTM. The Endocrinologist agreed to a trial T3 with reduced T4 and I have, I think, at last found the combination for me which has given me back my health and I feel well.
I went to see my GP to see if I could get a follow up appointment with the endocrinologist, but trying to get anything done is almost impossible. She did suggest I write all my concerns down and she would pass them on for answers from the endocrinologist, which she thought might be a faster way of doing things... I haven't as yet as I've now also been diagnosed as asthmatic and have been concentrating on getting the medication for that right. Wonder whether the two conditions might be related.
I take it that because I am not a member I have not received the information pack. While I fully understand that membership fees help pay for the contuniation of Thyroid UK work (which is vital), I am unfortunately unable to afford membership fees as I also have been diagnosed with CFS/ME and am in the process of losing my job and trying to get onto some kind of benefits - if I had the money, I would support you.....until then all I can say is good luck.
Can I get an information pack?
Can I have an information pack
I took none of the above actions. It's not that the information was not useful, it's just that I have taken no action so far.
Hi I am very happy with this news on thyroid!I did not receive the information pack?Would also like to know more about supplements. As I have also had 'Sarcoidosis' of the lungs...can't take vitamin D..can you tell me why?You see vitamin D is so very important! Thank you all so much you are doing a wonderful job. Bye for now Thyroidpest.

Well I currently live in Germany, but am British, and all I can say is that the system here is wonderful, they start treating with a tsh of three or above !
Shows how much incompetence there is in the UK.
