Hi there, can someone please tell me where I can have private testing done for thyroid function /endocrine function? I've had so many tests done at my GP I can't ask for more :-( I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and told to medicate and move on. I know there is more to it than this! Please help x

MedicAlternative in Dean Village, Edinburgh is good. Just look it up online. The advantage is that you don't have to get a referral from your GP as the Spire clinics insist on.

There is a number of postal services here: thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/testin...

Fibro is a SYNDROME not an 'illness' and therefore doctors can choose as to whether they treat it or not.
