I am new to the forum. Can some body recommend an endocrinologist in Edinburgh/ Scotland ? I have been diagnosed with low T3 Syndrome

[Callywals]

The cause of my T3 problem is genetic. I have been hypo for 15 years and remained undiagnosed and untreated for the duration. I am now in very poor health.

I am sorry you have been ill for such a long time. I suspect they never did a T3 blood test but, if you had a thyroid gland one, they only did the TSH.

If you email [e-mail] she may have the name of someone in Scotland. Also, members who live in Scotland may have the name of a helpful one and will send you a private message.

Thank you so much for responding; I will contact Louise Wavrill for more information. I would be delighted to hear from any Scottish members about their experience / treatment and about who was instrumental in their recovery. I watched the petition committee meeting using the link provided on the website and found myself in tears listening to the heart rending stories of both petitioners ( if possible I would like to connect with them). Endocrinology seems to be the twilight zone of medicine (that's the polite way of putting it) and I still find it difficult to take in how badly treated I've been treated throughout by both gps and consultants - the words supervised neglect come to mind . I imagine this is an all too familiar story. This illness has been a lonely road for me and I am grateful to have this resource. Thank you.

Hi Louise, I saw an endo in Glasgow recently who prescribed me T3. If you email Louise, she has this person on her list. Please don't feel lonely any more, the TUK community on this site is so helpful and supportive, it's a lifesaver.
