Endo for Hashimoto's in Kent

I have been hypo symptomatic for years (only realising this is a thyroid issue in hindsight) - low energy, weight gain, fatigue, depression diagnosis, brain fog...amongst many other symptoms. I have had my thyroid tested a few times on the NHS, but always came back normal and I never thought to question this.

I recently did the MediChecks thyroid panel which showed TSH, FT3 and FT4 all in range, but on the low side of the range. I have elevated Thyroglobulin Antibodies as well as some wonky cortisol results (all over the place, from in range to high). I believe that this means I have Hashimoto's.

My doctor won't entertain 'thyroid problems' due to in range T4 (sigh), so I have decided to find a private endo who can support me in getting my adrenals sorted and then would consider prescribing NDT.

Any suggestions for a doc in Kent/London/SE in general?

I understand doctors names cannot be used on posts, so would appreciate if somebody could pm me a suitable person.

Many thanks!

KentishKim - you can send for the list of thyroid friendly endos, both NHS and private, from ThyroidUK by emailing

tukadmin@thyroiduk.org

It is purely a list, not recommendations.

Please ensure that you do your own research on anyone you are considering seeing so that you feel confident if paying for a consultation.

I will turn off replies so that no information or names are posted on the forum.
