Sympathetic Dr....

[ChrisH100]

Hello all - can anyone recommend a good and sympathetic dr who will treat my symptoms (one that will not keep telling me they are all in my head!) in or around the Aylesbury area....

Thank you Chris

ChrisH100,

You are undermedicated on 100mcg Levothyroxine to have TSH 4.6. Ask your GP to increase dose. The goal of Levothyroxine is to restore the patient to euthyroid status. For most patients that will be when TSH is 0.3 - 1.0 with FT4 in the upper range. FT4 needs to be in the upper range in order that sufficient T3 is converted. Read Treatment Options in thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/about_... Email [e-mail] if you would like a copy of the Pulse article to show your GP.

Thanks clutter - but what do I do if he's not receptive to this...

ChrisH100,

If you take the Pulse article he should be. If he isn't, see another GP at the practice. If none are helpful find another GP practice.

You can also point out that you have taken advice from Thyroid UK recommended for Thyroid Dysfunction by NSH Choices-Rhyroid U.K. run this forum and lots of good info on their site.
