Hi all, I requested some blood forms, my last three blood test result print outs with ranges, and advise on how to collect my repeat prescription for T3.

I received my blood forms the next day but no info about obtaining my meds or test result print outs.

I wrote again asking for info about missing items and received only another blood form in the post.

I've sent another email today but am so fed up with this run around every time my repeat is due.

I've put on lots of weight, my hair is falling out and I'm falling asleep at silly o clock.

My specialist keeps asking me if I have had that dio2 test yet, then says I don't need to but if he leaves I might have issues getting it with a different doc, but to be honest I'm already having a difficult time getting it now from him. It was his co-worker that pushed him into giving me in the first place and I don't think he really wants me to have it despite feeling much more energetic on it, well I was prior to starting HRT. He did mention that my dose may need altering now I'm on HRT so I think this may be why I'm feeling rubbish. Has anyone else felt worse energy ways after starting Hrt?

My head is still burning, anyone else get this .

Im thyroid less and on HRT (surgical menopause) and I have been told here and I also have read about needing a higher thyroid dose because of HRT use but, honestly not one of the 7 endos Ive seen in 4 yrs prescribes to this theory and getting any doctor to do something that they don’t want to do is like pulling teeth from a tiger impossible .. its annoying and Im currently plagued with horrible cellulite that actually hurts and I too have gained massive weight after my thyroidectomy and for good measure I picked up psoriatic arthritis that has actually completed the destruction of my health... still cannot get one blasted doctor to see the connections.

I kept telling my old endo I wasn’t broke until you tried to fix me and he blamed me for my weight and inability to move like a human .... I turnt into a robot!

Keep pushing to get your labs and medications and yes it’s annoying and cruel to delay medications.

Not what you're looking for?
