I posted a few days ago about the phone call to the "Endo" who was a diabetic specialist, who was intent on taking me off T3. We ended up that he would send me a form for a blood test to test my T3 (the whole point of the 9 month wait).
The form came today, a week later.
It is for a diabetic test.
The brown stuff is about to hit the rotary object.
Don't they just love frustratng us serenfach ! Hope you get the right form next time.
Does he even know what T3 is.....
You need to have FT4, FT3 and TSH tested at the same time....but I guess you know that already!!
🤬Is it one of the hand written old style carbon copy request forms? I just add what I want to it in scrawly Dr script, haven't been called out yet 😁
No, its printed. I will ring his secretary and ask her to go back and see what he said to test. She/he may have just read blood test form and rattled it out. If he did say diabetes check, I will put in a formal complaint.
I'm always given a pot to pee in when I go to see the Endo even though I tell them I'm a thyroid patient, they just give me a queer look and hand me the pot!... I think they are on diabetes autopilot 🙄probably see so few of us as we are sooo rare 😲
very naughty Eeyore100 but you made me laugh out loud !! ...........because they drive us to do things to save ourselves, Every best wish G
Sometimes my illiterate left hand has a moment... perhaps its another Hypo thing? 🤭
I just loved the scrawly-script and just add what I want! Yep that left hand of yours needs an experienced consultant 😉 G
What an embarrassment they are. 🤡
I would tell him ...I want a full thyroid panel with antibodies...remind him that the TSH is the coach of the thyroid team, the T3 is the star player and the T4 just passes the ball to T3...and sometimes even though it tries it's unless at converting into the active hormone. Your symptoms are real... you're not depressed or hormonal but a person with a real thyroid problem, if he's not capable of sorting it out...to please refer you to a doctor who can
Good analogy - one for DippyDame and tattybogle
what the actual 🤬 numpties 😤
TSH levels!
Gp's hands are tied! Test results
A question about blood test timing 
Zanado 
i am flabbergasted! even in Australia are doctors who go strictly by the guidelines and refuse t3
