For the last few days I have felt BAD, I threw up four times Thursday night, I hate throwing up so just let it,go and went to bed. I have not wanted to eat much lately but feel starving, the only thing I want is cold stuff, too,bad I don't lose weight. And sorry this,is gonna be a long one but it will be worth it in the end.
I had dysentry so many times I almost stayed in the shower all day, still no appetite. Next day same thing, but I took Imodium after the first two boughts because I just couldn't take it. I did the fluid replacement thing too. So I called MY GP, of COURSE he wasn't there and he did have an appointment but I was pooping myself so bad I was afraid to leave the house. So I called NSH help line, they asked me lots do questions, got the paramedic on the line, he said I needed to go to the doc shop. The walk ins, he made me an appointment even tho I really didn't wanna go, took more Imodium, hubbers came home early to take me there, I was so weak, and by this time my ears and throat started to itch so bad, like I,had a brillow pad in my throat. I have a goitre and nodules so I was only slightly concerned, I really thought I had strep throat or a gastro bug. But to be honest I have had dysentry for almost three months. YES I went to the ENDO private, didn't offer any help. A GP called me last evening to make me promise if I felt,worse to come back, BUT get this the POLY clinic will not see you of you,have sickness or diareaha. I had not liked up for two days and the Imodium helped. So guess what the Poly Clinic at Harold wood turned me away. Didn't even take my temp or anything, just said go home. They were not mean but, soooooo this morning I wake up and my throat hurt so bad, this happened to me right before I saw the ENDO private several months ago.. Felt exactly,the same. I feel so heat sensitive, well anyway, I went to a different clinic because I was coughing up my guts and was so ill I didn't think this could have anything to do with thyroid. He pal payed my neck, took my blood pressure my pulse was 101, he said it was because I was unwell.....then he said
I think you have an over active thyroid, he gave be a card that forces my GP to give me thyroid tests, I dint have to argue, hubby going with me.
I have been taking one grain of thyroid -S for months now, I have always had symptoms of over and under, allot,of my symptoms WENT totally. Maybe I do have gastro flu too, but after all these years for a doc to look at me listen to what I had to say, he pressed on my tummy, I have no ovaries so alittle tender. So on Tuesday I will have a blood test, and because it is NHS I will get another one from Blue Horizon. So after all,these years. I won't take my NDT for a few days, I have also had a bereavement so that had left me stressed. I know,the test will come back normal as always, but it does explain my sensitivity to heat and cold and I didn't mention much about thyroid, just said I had a goitre and my,throat hurting really bad concerned me just alittle.
After all this's time begging for help, this man spots it and gives me the pass for blood tests. So now,things will move allot faster, two docs telling my GP to pull his finger out.
I actually do not feel over medicated, and I usually swing from one feeling to the other, and yes I have been stressed because my father died. I am sure that does not help.
Advise? And yes I am going to grief counselling just have to get the courage and take the blood test early early in the morning? Rita x x I do self medicate, but took it really slow like the protocol says. So I will stop but I'd that itching come back I am done for. Ps I will give you my old blood results tomorrow just can't see anymore. X x
