We all love good news!

Those of you with patience and persistence will know that when I first posted, my endo had taken me off T3, and the symptoms I'd put down to recovering from a stroke were in fact hypo. I 'd decided to go back to taking T3 despite endo hostility. I posted to say my GP had backed me on this...At the time of deciding, I'd written to my other endo (who looks after my growth hormone prescriptions) to inform him.

Joy follows - this morning I received a letter from him saying my decision was "perfectly reasonable" Even better is the fact that he is taking over all my endocrine issues;though it means a 70 mile round trip to see him,it's going to be worth it. Luck goes with me again! I seem to have the country's most open-minded health professionals - TGFT. There are lights down some tunnels.

Good to hear that there are some good endos and GPs. The journey is a pain but better to travel to a good guy than nip around the corner to a knobhead.
