Antibody > 1000. Diagnosed with Hashimotos by my GP. He refused to treat
initially as he said too early intervention could promote osteoporosis.
This caused me problems as I was waiting for an operation. The anaesthetist
refused me the op as I had an untreated thyroid.
Eventually GP relented. As I had 2 torn knee cartilages I was in a mess.
A year on I am on 125mg thyroxine. I dont feel well on most days.
My GP refuses to refer me to an endocrinologist as he say he is treating
me satisfactorily.
I should like to be reassured especially as my cartilage problems are
still not resolved and I have been tested twice for Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Your comments would be welcome.
