Been told thyroid results are normal

[Penny1976]

Hi, after years of feeling rubbish and GP saying my results are perfectly normal and trying to give me antidepressants, I just wondered if anyone had decided to take NDT or any other thyroid medication themselves and felt better ?

Yep. Totally fine now

I got diagnosed with hypothyroidism by the late Dr Skinner but the diagnosis was dismissed by the NHS. After Dr Skinner died I couldn't face starting a fight with the medical profession on the subject of my thyroid so I started treating myself. I've never regretted it.

It depends what they call "normal". It turned out I felt dreadful of T4 so saw Dr P and worked out how to take T3 which I have to deal with myself. Why dont you try to make an appointment with Dr P? I have never felt better since doing this.

Good luck

OI self medicate on Erfa after being refused treatment by the NHS. Things have definitely improved.
