Does anyone have an endocrinologist or other medical professional that helps them? Desperately need help.

Hi

My latest results are

Tsh 0.84

T4 10.1 (9-19)

T3 3.0 (2.89-4.88)

and endocrinologist says I'm fine because I'm in range. I can't stop sobbing. I take 175mcg levo, I'm 29 weeks pregnant with twins and I'm desperately worried.

I've got low B12, and iron and am starting B12 injections.

I need to find someone who will treat me appropriately.

I live in Cornwall but will travel to London.

Any help very gratefully received, I'm at my lowest point ever, very tearful, scared and angry.

Kate.

Stupid man - can he not look beyond a blood test result and at the patient instead. If he touches your hand he might find you have some of the symptoms below:-

This is a link and hope it might be a bit helpful. Do you want a private consultation?

Even if it is only an initial one might be helpful. email Dionne at TUK; email [e-mail]

Thank you. I'm going to see if my health insurance will allow me to see someone privately and I'm just keeping everything crossed I can see someone who will listen and who will see more than just a bare minimum "in range" result. They're low in range and I understand they should be high in range for me to be adequately treated. It's clear as day on the British Thyroid Foundation website. If I can find that guidance in 2 minutes, why doesn't an endocrinologist know about it? I'm so depressed about it all.

If you up your medication and it makes you feel better, wont that be proof? I know that only a set amount is issued but i found if i order my asthma meds, on exactly the day they say i can, i have built up a stock of 3 months worth in just a year....
