At Last - an appointment with Endo :)

After years of querying my thyroid problems with various GPs then being dismissed, now after 4/5 months wait I finally have an appointment with an endo on Dionne's list :

I think this has only been because I've lost 2 stone in weight - what does it take to be listened to :-/

Still a few weeks hence but I'm crossing everything in the hope that I will be listened to and treated. I'd so like my life back please. :( j

I wish you well in your upcoming appointment.

Let us know how you get on. We are so desperate to consult with someone who we believe can improve our health.

Thanks shaws. Not sure what to expect frankly. Just feel a sense of relief at the moment - hope it isn't misplaced.

I certainly hope it isn't displaced because we need helpful and sympathetic Endos and there are a number of them. Unfortunately they have to do as directed by their superiors.

Thank you Rmichelle. Dear, oh dear, I do hope endo number 3 is helping you more than numbers 1 and 2 then. From reading here it all sounds like such a lottery - with huge odds. j
