What a waste of time 😒

Well I went fully armed to my endo this morning determined to stop the levo I was on .. mentioned NDT he didn't have a clue. Handed him a leaflet from thyroid uk.

He's made another appointment for a different endo ! I hope he has more knowledge.

Has anybody heard of dr Srinivas-shanker ? At arrows park hospital ?

My endo has retired now 😒

You had good advice in your last post. I think that you need to accept that they are not going to do enough to get you to the stage that you want to be. I would try to keep the T3 prescription and do as was suggested re your dose whether you admit it to them initially or not.

I've told them I'm not taking the levo and continue with the T 3 see how I feel .. I may lower the dose

Thanks for your reply. I've never heard of the other endo he's suggested I see next 😒

We have no info either way about Srinivas-Shanker. If you do end up seeing him/her, would appreciate hearing out it went - thanks!
