Help please: Post-Car accident, thyroid diagnosis, with subsequent adrenal fatigue: I am being disbelieved.

[Poppy_the_cat]

Apologies to all who will have replied to me, on my last post.

I have not been able to reply.

I have been very ill and continue to be so but will not waste time addressing my my thyroid/adrenal fatigue issues now. I have also experienced a lot of problems with both my laptop and my phone. It seems I can no longer receive anything that is posted on this website as it passes through the Mandrilla app which is very irritating as I use my phone a great deal. I have given up trying.

I am currently too ill to cope with pretty much anything. If I can get up out of bed at all, then it is a bonus.

Currently I am also dealing with the stress of my car accident case - amongst many other stressful things.

Please can anybody help?

The opposition are claiming that they can see no evidence that there is any link between my car accident, in which I suffered whiplash and sternum injuries, and a subsequent diagnosis of thyroid issues, that has been further complicated by adrenal fatigue.

The huge, sustained stress that the car accident caused me, regardless of the current insurance claim, is too vast to detail here. They see no link between the two, the accident and the thyroid and adrenal fatigue!!

All I would ask is, does anybody here have any experience, or knowledge of any known published documentation that discusses the possible causal link between a car accident involving sternum damage and whiplash connected to subsequent thyroid diagnosis here in the UK; as well as documentation or research that proves adrenal fatigue can be triggered by sustained levels of high stress.

The stresses I have been under has almost finished me off and to be told by these ignorant people that they fail to see any link between the inevitable stresses that resulted from being unable to work when I was most needed have caused me huge stress and indeed has has consequences that followed on in recent years without letting up.

Any help would be vastly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Poppythecat, I'm sorry you're so unwell. Your own insurers and solicitors should be researching the connections to counter the other party's insurer's view.

Thank-you Clutter for your fast reply.

I have just cut and pasted the whole article and forwarded all the details to my solicitor. I have however, also researched the topic for her before, but one must adopt the Robert The Bruce attitude of trying over and over again..

Thank-you x

Poppythecat, I'm sorry it wasn't a research article, it was a page of Google links.

You will find plenty of info online about the link between stress/trauma and auto immune diseases. The problem is that you will not get a diagnosis if adrenal fatigue on the nhs as nhs will not recognise or treat adrenal fatigue. Without a formal diagnosis, you don't stand a chance. Yoy will also need a thyroid disease diagnosis. See what formal diagnoses you can get from your own gp. Without medical documentation you will get nowhere with a personal injury claim. You also need a solicitor. You cannot fight the battle alone

Thank-you for your prompt reply.

I do have a solicitor.

I am not sure what you mean by a formal diagnosis? I was diagnosed 4 years ago. My GP first put me on levothryoxene; I have had a nightmare time of enduring the levothyroxene, to which I became allergic. I switched to Armour with diminishing efficacy and now on Nutri Adrenal extract as I can no longer tolerate even the smallest amounts of Armour. My blood tests show me as hashimotos as do the saliva lab test results show that I have adrenal fatigue. What more do I have to do?

I do not understand what you mean by a formal diagnosis from my GP? Please be kind enough to explain.

Thank-you

Hi. So sorry this has happened. 22 years ago my husband was involved in a RTA. There were no witnesses, no injury to another person and no damage to another persons property so no police involvement. The car was written off. He had hit a pile of grit, the type put down in icy conditions.

He had pain from the seatbelt bruising and whip lash and was given a collar. In two and a half weeks he was fighting for his life as a massive bleed in his brain had slowly built up. He did live but was left with brain damage and in hospital for 9 months. I only went to a solicitor as he was unconscious for two months and we hadn't a joint bank account. That solicitor had told one who looked at this kind if injury claim and so started years of fighting. Head injury claims cannot be started till after 3 years as in that time they can improve but my solicitor found another similar case where a cause and effect had happened at a similar interval. They could have turned around and said it was just one if those things. it wasn't easy but I had a very good solicitor and an equally good barrister and I accepted the the third out of court offer I was given. My husband was always saying there was nothing wrong with him but I had a problem and I was frightened, despite the medical evident that he might be believed. It took six years and sadly he died two years later so it wasn't easy. At this point make sure your solicitor is on the ball and ask which line he proposes to take. If he's no idea then find one who does before the cost mounts up. Good luck

I was sorry to read of the dreadful ordeal you both had to endure and the sad outcome after all.

Thank-you for your kind advice.

Its interesting that you say it the was only the third offer that you finally accepted.

Its awful when people are in so much difficulty that all this base bartering needs to go on before things can be brought to a satisfactory, dignified close.

Thank-you,

Well it was a good offer and I was also worried in case I got nothing! I'd got three children and petrified of going to court and losing it. There are figures laid down for thinks like this so knew I was there or thereabouts.
