Can anyone help?

I am hypo that doctors try and control with Levothyroxine, bloods have shown Rrhymatoid In them... Can anyone help? Feels like constant flue, they are saying some sort of autoimmune problem...

If the doctor thinks you have rheumatoid he should refer you to a good Rheumatologist.I believe some members have RA so they may come up with a suggestion.

Once we have one autoimmune condition, we are apt to get others.

I hope your hypo condition is under control and that you are on optimum medication.

Yes, I agree but getting GP's to do referrals is a nightmare... I will not give up the fight not been right for a long time... I've been hyper/hypo for 30 years so constant battle thank you for your reply

Theoretically, they think hypo/hyper can easily be treated by the GP's but I think he cannot refuse for your RA. You definitely need an excellent person for that. My daughter has RA and is severely disabled.
