Too hot to handle

I wrote about it month ago the symptoms of extreme temperatures changes that I was experiencing, and how my endocrinologist was not getting back to me even though I and my GP had contacted him. I had RAI treatment about it year ago and was put on levythroxine l. I have since found that my thyroid was overactive and has been for quite some time I have now stopped taking levythroxine for about four weeks and although not 100 percent the difference is night and day. It will take a while for my body to recover and to get back to normal. I have booked a appointment at a private hospital this week and try to find out whether or not to go back on cabazamol.

I have been having bloods done through out the year and had such a bad reaction to the levythroxine. I have tried to get in contact with the endocrinologist via his secretary but he has not contacted me, I reduced dosage but there still was no change. This was done over a period of two months and had just got to the point that I had to stop. I was constantly thirsty with tremors and the heat coming off me was more than I could take . I have had bloods done since I have off levythroxine and still saying that my levels are in the parameters. I have previous tests and current test to be sent to a private hospital where I hope I will make more headway. To this day my endocrinologist has been in contact with me despite me and my GP trying to get in touch with them.
