Thank you for replying. I can't say I feel well. The main symptoms are very low energy, weight gain, anxiety has gone down slightly, I'd say it was a 7/10. I don't feel like I want to die at the mo which is a bonus. I feel quite stressed out, the elephant on the chest type of feeling. I depend my days preventing being tired so I can manage things a bit better. I weigh about the same as you.
I think you will relate to much of it. I’m in a much better place now, but I was idealising for a while there. It will get better but you do need to self advocate to make sure that if you get a ‘dud’ (useless) doctor, you can identify them as such and put them right. It’s good, the rheumatologist asked for the blood test. I think there are many people in different disciplines other than general practice and endocrinology who are starting to see the symptoms and act on it not waiting for someone else to do so.
There is some really good research coming out of cardiology as well
