Another doctor bites the dust

12 Replies

I am down to one doctor, who has been supporting me all these years and seems to be the only one that has a clue about something.

After having a pretty difficult time recently, with going to overdose or hyper swing, now slowly back to hypo, my doctor contradicted herself (both ft3 ft4 are 24% range, but I'm in "normal" range, but previously my ft3 at 37% was low and she prescribed t3) and then told me to go back to GP and my symptoms are not thyroid related. Wanted to scream, so instead I have sent her an email how disappointed I am and confused and that I won't be pursuing with her anymore. What a waste of time.

Last time I talked to my GP she said that t3 is thyroxine, so yeah, thank God for my own sanity 😂

This is awful news for you. Do you still have the doctor who has a clue?

in reply toGreekchick

I still do, thankfully, he is a gem. I'm actually happy I don't need to pay her the 150 pounds anymore :)

A silver lining in every cloud ⛅️

in reply toGreekchick

Exactly. I'm getting better and can manage with one doctor prescribing me t3

in reply toGreekchick

More silver lining. Went to a new GP today to ask why my beta blockers didn't work and finally found someone who knows what t3 is and didn't look surprised that I'm taking it! Also, apparently, my miniscule 10 mcg of Propranolol is too small for palps, because I need a long acting 80 mcg, 10 mcg is for migraines. Thankfully, I'm getting better, but will keep these for emergency. Faith in humanity restored for today.
