Looking for a good private consultant in Bristol or Bath

2 Replies

Hello there, I wonder if anyone could private message me with details of a good private endo in Bristol or Bath. I’ve been struggling to find an optimal dose of levothyroxine and had been referred to NHS ends but they cancelled the appointment cos my TSH looks fine to them. It was .79, rang .5 to 4.5 on my last test a month ago, at the time I’d been on 125mg Levo for five weeks and was having unpleasant hyper symptoms. Been back on100mg for past month and feeling better but still struggling with our old friends brain fog and fatigue. Any recommendations really welcome, I’m not getting far on the NHS

The two most informative tests are Free T4 and Free T3 which are rarely tested.

If you email Dionne at TUK, and request a list of sympathetic endos/doctors.

tukadmin@thyroiduk.org

On the following link you will see why the frees are important:-
