Thought I'd update for all of you kind enough to give me advice on my last couple of threads.
Even though I'd phoned the surgery last week to check it would still be a face to face appointment, I received a text this morning telling me it would be a phone call. Bang went all my plans to show her the print out from Dr Toft, NICE guidelines on dosage etc.
Usually I really like her manner, but today she was abrupt and clearly hassled (and had phoned me 20 minutes late). I just got the impression she wanted to get me off the phone ASAP.
She isn't happy that my TSH is out of range, tried explaining to her but she really didn't want to listen. Told me she needed to get urgent endo advice, because she feels it is over and above what she knows as a GP. She refused point blank to up my meds, but did at least keep my on 150mg thyroxine, but has only given me a months prescription for it (normally I get given 2 months and a blood test form for me to get checked after 6-7 weeks).
I was told to chase up the surgery if I haven't heard anything in a week, as she expects to hear back from endo by then.
Not very happy, but it is what it is.
Am going to spend the weekend getting to grips with gluten free stuff, then look to start it next week, as it is about the only positive thing I can do right now.
