Doctor recommendation needed

Hi All,

After a year of painful meetings liaising with my NHS endocrinologist, I had enough. She reluctantly prescribed T3 but did not really bother about following up or testing vitamins or overall health. My GP tries but he is clueless on thyroid related issues other than where normal TSH should be, which does not help.

I have tried to manage the symptoms myself, with the very good advise from all of you and the books that I have bought. However, I am still far from optimal and had to leave my job recently.

I need the recommendation of a good endocrinologist that could look at my overall health, in a holistic, integrative way so that I can improve my energy levels, mood, brain fog and overall malaise that I feel almost every day. I know it wont be cheap but at this stage, it is either that or living a very suboptimal life that is making me unhappy.

Please DM me with the names of doctors that have help you or know that are able to provide that service.

Your help is very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Carlax

You are advised to get full thyroid profile bloods done to include TSH, FT4 & FT3 + vitamins ferritin, folate, B12 & D3 and antibodies before your appointment to avoid wasting your first visit.
