Hi Pamela,

Sorry to hear of your frustrations. I was tested every 3 months over the course of 18 months as borderline under active. My late Father was also diagnosed at the same age. I am also going through the menopause which has similar symptoms. My GP last year refused to start treatment as I was borderline however quarterly testing continued. My symptoms gradually worsened so I contacted my practice and was seen by a different GP who was more sympathetic and had done some considerable research based on my results. Yes your test results can differ each time but please persevere with this and maybe ask to seek a second opinion on your results. I understand the healthcare differs in the US and we are lucky we have the NHS here in the UK. I hope you receive the treatment you need soon. 🤞🏻

Your post reads that it is in reply to another member's post. For that member to know you have responded you need to reply directly to her post on her thread, what you have done here is start a new thread and it's not connected in any way to the original so "Pamela" wont know that you have responded. Perhaps you can find Pamela's original post and copy this reply on there, that way she will get notification that you have replied to her.
