whoopee got a referral today to see dr s.

Just wrote a short letter, praising the surgery for all there help over the last 18 months.( less than useless) .Praised the 2 endos I have seen privately and national health(oh how could I lie like this I thought) Finally stated that my mental health was now at risk, how I battle to get through each day, This was the only grain of truth in my letter. HEY it worked, I was all ready to go into battle, I was gazumped I am pleased to say. will tell you more after my appointment

with the doc in B ham, if it was not for this forum, I hate to think what state I would be in now. A great big thankyou to you all for your support over the last 6 months hugs and kisses to you all regards brenda

Maybe I should write a letter lol. Dear doctor thanks for only being interested in tsh lol

[Hidden in reply to Thyroidmeg]

no no no you must creep I am afraid. my letter did not reflect what I really wanted to say. That would be unprintable,for the first time in my long life I have learnt to not say what i think. Think what i say. it worked. kind thoughts brenda

[Thyroidmeg in reply to Hidden]

I just find the nurse so patronising but you're right I'm going to try that approach next I get up in the morning and am fine all day til 6pm when I get exhausted. Zero energy after a days work I'm

All very good news. We all have a huge debt of gratitude to Thyroid UK for the time and effort put in to help others.

I think everyone would agree that this support forum is a valuable part of Thyroid UK as a way of bringing people together to help and encourage each other. I know that I have gained so much and learned so much since I first found the website.

But for Thyroid UK I would still be thinking there was no hope for me, that I was doomed to be sickly for the rest of my life, barely able to walk and constantly fearing for my heart and my life.

It's good to hear from others are benefiting too!
