Hi Purpleurkle

How has your hypothyroidism been managed? Do you have any recent blood tests you want to share? Make sure any information is anonymous and that results have ranges and IMPORTANTLY describe your symptoms in relation to the test because you should never be calibrated to a test - a test should be calibrated to you and your symptoms, which happen to be the most important diagnostic, if only many doctors would realise this. 🙄

Most doctors treat the lab work not the patient and it’s all about getting the numbers looking good (not us sadly).

This forum is an amazing resource to learn from, search in and discuss. I credit this forum for saving my life (along with a very supportive hubby). 🤗

Not what you're looking for?
