Phew. Doc asked for review, but think I have been so lucky. All is well

My last post mentioned I was feeling so much better on t3. A real improvement in quality of life. Not perfect but amazed that the tiny 20mg pill could make such a difference. I became so worried when told I had to have a review. Mean spirited receptionist said it wasn't up to endo as GP writes the script! I had been told several time how expensive t3 is and they may as well added I wasn't worth it. But tonight i just spoke to the nicest GP I have spoken to in years. Just wanted to make sure I was ok. He has upped my t4 as was a little low, and not once did he mention TSH!! I think I have found a forward thinking GP.

I now have a longer term prescription of both tablets and feel so lucky I may just do the lottery. 💜. Good Health everyone x

Good health to you too. Definitely worth giving the lottery a go on the strength of that result 😉

I feel so much better, almost part of the treatment. Ii realise how pent up I was. Ready to get all my evidence out and get up on my hind legs ... Nice not to have to prove myself, for once!

Very relieved. Thanks again clutter your info played a part. This doc is a locum. Hope he hangs about for a while! But at least I have a repeat prescription now. X
