I posted it meself last year, Deanna. It's a great letter and explanation. Don't expect an overwhelming reaction to it from your GP and endo. It's anecdotal and a millions miles from the double blind randomised controls and evidence based medicine they live and die by.

Clutter I went to see the endo as per my previous post collected my levo prescription on Friday and upon reading the leaflet I am now in a quandary as I am taking 80 mg propranolol for migraines and yet this is a contraindication! What are these Dr's on? Surely having been given a referral and having an initial consultation with me the endo would know that the 2 meds don't work together I am becoming at my wits end with the incompetance of the medical profession

Deanna, they're usually fine if you take them 4 hours apart.
