Dr. Rodney O. C. Adeniyi-Jones appointment tomorrow

[ChocolateHelps]

Hi everyone

My first post.

I've given up on my GP. She's very sympathetic but my blood tests the past 14 months have come back within the normal range, although my TSH I'd creeping up.

History. I had overactive thyroid twice, 2nd time p o st partum in Jan 2009 was quite high and took PTU for 2 months until went under active. Properly underactive August 2014 with TSH of 10.88, monitored but no medication and it went back down to around 2 in 6-8 months.

TSH is going up again, slowly over past year. I'm feeling rubbish again, tired legs esp thighs. Very tired, insomnia at 4am, etc and I know if I get a repeat blood test from GP

HIT send too quickly!

I know GP won't prescribe anything even if TSH is over 10, so I've made an appointment tomorrow with Dr. Rodney O. C. Adeniyi-Jones . It's £360 just for the consultation. A lot of money to me.

What questions do I ask to make the most of the hour consultation?

Write a list of all your symptoms and medical history so that you don't forget. If you've got time do it on your computer and print 2 copies, 1 for you and 1 for him.

Ask him for full thyroid tests. Take any printouts of previous tests you've had from your GP, as he may not have received these.

I hope you get helpful advice.

Be aware that he'll want to flog you a shed load of supplements without saying what they are and what they do.

Thats interesting, I was looking at seeing him too but couldn't see prices anywhere for consultation (I may have missed it). I prefer it when these things are 'transparent'. I did see a private doctor in North London for a while last year and I was given supplements but he did explain what they were for. Also I did check when I got home and found the prices he charged were the same as I could buy on the internet so I didn't mind that so much, but I didn't feel any different on the supplements, so eventually stopped taking them and stopped seeing the doctor as I couldn't really afford to continue. Now thinking of seeing a different private doctor and toying between this one you mention and one other. Do let me know how you get on with this one.

Supplements made a great difference to me and helped my conversion from T4 to T3 but it doesn't happen over night. 6 months plus and I did lose weight with that without really trying. May be half a stone but got a better defined body!

I've seen him - he was cheaper 10 years ago. He is an endo yet didn't spot my thyroid problems. He did discover that my blood was clotting within the vessels though, so that was a very good thing and he found magnesium very low, but he soon ran out of ideas with me and didn't resolve my un-wellness.

I went to Rodney after disastrous treatment on the NHS,and he helped save my life.I have had treatment from him for over twenty years . always got what I paid for, which was gold standard treatment;which gave me the courage to battle on.A good doctor doesn,t come cheap.The alternative is the NHS.

Eifi this is your first post and yet you've resurrected an old thread. What gives?

She was probably browsing which I tend to do but when I go to reply I check now and some of the posts are 4 years old.

My mother's 'imminently terminal' medical diagnosis was turned into many more years of happy living by Dr Rodney Adeniyi-Jones. She was very cynical about the services of a special, bioresonance mat for her gout and osteoarthritis - and quarrelled with me about it. It was very disheartening for me but I just asked her to try it. Her face was a picture of shock as her gout disappeared in four minutes in the clinic, never to return. I hoped her osteoarthritis would be equally swift to go if we used the device at home, so I bought one in desperation. It was harrowing to see her in daily lower back pain. Very angrily, my mother agreed to try the machine for her back for just 20 minutes. It was a massive gamble but she woke me at dawn the next morning to say that her pain vanished overnight. The pain free effects lasted for weeks. My mother changed her tune very swiftly and became a convert. At the time, the device was very expensive but that machine lasted 12 brilliant years flawlessly and helped me as well as several of our friends who had a variety of aches and pains which doctors had said needed medical intervention: knees, ankles, hip and shoulder injuries were either cured or significantly improved from a single application. I used it daily and was kept in vibrant health during its use. It had several different programmes.

I also went to Dr A-J as a patient after seeing so many people get better and found that he was well informed on many different medical and 'alternative' disciplines and very amiable. I had endured too many dismissive consultants in hospitals and was glad of someone who was modest and yet very knowledgeable. In those days, nothing in his clinic was ever rushed, so I sat in his waiting room several times beyond my appointment time and, to fill the silence, chatted to other patients. I was heartened to speak to some who had been, like my Mum, brought back from the brink of 'terminal' by this gifted gentleman, whose father and grandfather I discovered were also eminent doctors.

Dr A-J may not be able to cure everyone but I can say truthfully that for us he was a miracle worker and today, well over two decades later, I still recommend him because I have only heard good reports. Because I can speak first hand about his *recognised medical expertise and wide spectrum naturopathic knowledge, I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.

*In the nineties, Dr A-J came top in a poll in The Evening Standard of 100 of "London's Top Medical Consultants" as the 'go to' doctor for their nearest and dearest if conventional medicine failed. It was that which sent me scuttling to him to save my Mum's life, which he helped to do admirably. I am not connected to his clinic in any way, nor do I benefit in any way from this note, of which he knows absolutely nothing.
