list of endocrinologists

[MOEONIAN]

i notice that it's recommended to email for a list of endocrinologists who specialise in, or who are extensively involved in, the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid problems. i am in need of one as my gp has said that, if i can discover one, he would refer me to them and prescribe as appropriate based on the endo's findings. could anyone please tell me who i should email for this list?

There's a list of private endos and a list of T3-friendly endos - email Dionne at Thyroid UK - [e-mail]. Also worth asking (in a sep post) for recommendations for someone near-ish to you. You don't have to see the nearest person but must obv be reasonably convenient

tried that email, fuchsia-pink, and it comes up as 'no results found' when i try to send. have you copied it correctly? i copied and pasted your spelling into the address bar.

It is an email address - not a web page.

Copy and paste it into an email program (Outlook, Mail, or whatever you use).

hi, helvella

i meant the address bar on the email that i tried to send. the place where you put the email address of the person with whom you wish to communicate. it went red with a message that the address was unknown.

Right-ho!

Did you by any accidentally chance include the fullstop at the end?

[e-mail]

I sent a test email about quarter of an hour ago - it seemed to send just fine. And I have not had a failure message.

[MOEONIAN in reply to helvella]

all fine now, thanks, helvella. got thru' to both addresses so sent twice.

If you are hoping to see an NHS endocrinologist be aware that they can reject the GPS referral and refuse to see you if they feel your thyroid results do not need specialist input.

hi, lalatoot.

thanks for the 'heads up'. i am going the private route if i can get the list of endos.

the email address that was recommended above does not exist. i'm back to square one.

ps. i have no idea why i'm down as MOEONIAN. i hate cats! love dogs!

that’s the email address you may have had problems because it had a full stop at the end- copy the email address above into your outgoing email under the sender section. ask for list of sympathetic endo’s
