Hi everyone, you may know of my very recent horrible experience would what is now my “ex” GP. I have decided to switch my GP and I have successfully done so.
I have just had my first GP appointment over the phone, and I swear I cannot believe how good my experience was!!! She was very attentive, very interested in my health, and actually very knowledgeable!
She had no problems with private blood tests and was surprised to see I was positive to anti-TGab as only TPO was tested elsewhere.
She also asked me if I was taking Biotin in my previous test (as it was lower between two higher results) as it interferes etc etc.
She asked if I was referred to an Endo before for the wide array of Endocrine issues as she feels they are complicated with possibly 4 endocrine related conditions and all the symptoms and need specialist advice!
She said also a F2F appt needed to examine neck for lumps/swelling and a scan of thyroid may be needed as well.
Also prescribed further endocrine testing like ACTH, prolactin and others as “she needs the full picture! 😳😍😍😍
She said one of the tests is done in a clinical setting and consists of repeated blood tests to better diagnose issues. (Didn’t catch the name).
Very happily referred to St Bartholomews, which PaulineS recommended as one of the Centre of excellence for Pituitary!!
She also advised (without any input from myself!!)that I will benefit from Thyroxine, but for the short time being she would like for the Endo to investigate more as she’s worried that Levo may worsen my adrenal situation with the Low cortisol. Just to be on the safe side.
I am feeling so blessed and happy.
A doctor who listened and took their oath seriously in my opinion. The fight isn’t over, but wanted to shine a bright light as we often hear negative things here, so wanted to give credit where credit is due!
Literally crying of happiness on my bed right now! 😂😂😂
??????? seriously ?
