Hi Teenarocks

They are all on the other post thread.

I think the poster may have been asked to post these on a new post.

If you look on the site for Thyroid Uk who run this forum you will find a long list of symptoms so print off and tick the ones you have. Your doctor will probably say you shouldn't be looking on the internet but point out that Thyroid Uk is recommended by NHS Choices for help with thyroid dysfunction.

My reply was due to the fact that your doctors dismissed your symptoms as not connected but loads of other stuff on there that you may find useful to read before you see the Endo
