Recommended Endo?

5 Replies

I have finally persuaded my GP to recommend I see an endo as I am still feeling unwell even though TSH result in normal range (3.5) and in her opinion, I should be feeling "fine".

Can anybody recommend an endo in Exeter, Devon, or close by, private if necessary. I have done a little research and the only endo I can find specialising in thyroid who works at my local hospital, doesn't get good reviews from other thyroid sufferers!!!!!!!!

Help much appreciated.

In my opinion (sticks tongue out) your doctor should keep "her" opinions to herself. Her job is to help you improve. If you are still unwell with a TSH of 3.5 (I was still *&^& with a TSH of 2.5) then her job is to improve you even further. You wouldn't have gone to see her if you felt "fine" - or does she think she is such an amazingly wonderful person that her patients want to drop by for a cuppa and a chat?

Absolutely! Sick of the merry go round! Wish doctors would just listen when you tell them you are not feeling right even though they believe the tests show otherwise. Grrrrrrrrrrr
