Wow!!!

I went to a local walk in centre today as I haven't felt well for a couple of days. Saw a fantastic Dr. When taking my pulse, she commented on how high it was. I said that it must be the little walk to the Dr's room. Anyway, she diagnosed a virus. She then asked if I had any other health issues (think she asked because of my high pulse) so I told her about the Private blood tests for my thyroid and that I have an appointment with my GP tomorrow to discuss the results. As I was trying to find the results on my phone, I told her about my symptoms. I then showed her the blood results and straight away she said "SUBCLINICAL HYPOTHYROIDISM"! I was shocked! I told her about the fantastic support I have received on this forum and about the info on Dr Toft. Apparently, she is very familiar with his work! She then went on to say that I would need to start treatment straight away. All the while, she's typing all this on the computer system which I presume my GP will see tomorrow. I mentioned Hashies has been mentioned and she agreed that is what I have. I thanked her again and again and then......... I burst into tears!!! Maybe I won't have a fight to get the treatment I need! 😀😀
