Thanks for responses, I am not a great one for taking tablets don't bother with head ache ones etc perhaps I am fortunate to not having found it necessary, the earliest appointment is March and clearly doctor is aware I have no tabs and they are not bothered, hence, I just think what's the point perhaps I should just let nature take its course and get out of this crazy world and leave them all to it.

Your reply obviously follows on from responses to your other thread. It would be better if you continued adding your own responses in that thread so that people know what you are referring to.

dipsyqueen, Please believe me when I tell you that it is the lack of thyroid hormone in your body that is making you feel so bad. Many here have gone through what you're experiencing. That 'why am I bothering, it's all too much to cope with' feeling, is often labelled as depression by medics who simply do not understand how vital it is to have the right levels of thyroid hormones in order to function as the person you really are.

You need to get this issue sorted asap. Your doctors may not be bothered, but there are plenty of people here who care and can help and support you in this.
