This was funny and really sad. But I think so many of us have met this doctor. They seem to come from same factory :D

Hello, well I am hoping being on this forum will help me fully understand Hyperthyroidism, I am so confused by it all, T3, TS4 levels, my reading are normal but I still go through bad symptoms, I also have Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis in my hands so totally confused as to which it is that is causing my symptoms. I find the worst one of all is the weight gain, I have put on 2 stone and this of course is making my joints even more painful. I feel like a hypochondriac going to see the doctor so prefer to try and find the right way myself. If it wasn't for painkillers I would not be able to function
