Need endo recommendation in Kent or London

[HormonesSuck]

I have autoimmune thyroiditis and adrenal complications which I don't yet have a formal diagnosis for. Can anyone recommend an endo consultant who is willing to look deeper than just thyroid numbers?

Welcome to our forum,

Do you have a print-out of your latest blood test results with the ranges you can post, so that members can interpret them for you. All blood tests have to be at the very earliest possible, fasting and allow a gap of 24 hours between your last dose and the test and take it afterwards. This procedure gives us, the patient, the best possible result. GP should also check B12, Vit D, iron, ferritin and folate. Any deficiencies will give problems and all have to be at optimum, not somewhere in the range. GP should test TSH, T4, T3, Free T4, Free T3 and thyroid antibodies. B12, Vit D, iron, ferritin and folate. Any tests he or lab wont do, you can have them privately and we have recommended labs.

If you get these before you see an Endo it might be beneficial.

email [e-mail] who has a list of recommended endos.

We do not post names of doctors or endos on the forum but can do by Private Message only.

I have all these test results but I am not happy to post them for members to interpret! Just looking for a recommendation for a good consultant. Thanks
