Just recived letter of endo appointment 🤔

Hi everyone ❤️... Just recived the letter that tells you the surgery are referring you to an endocrinologist at Newcastle, no idea at the moment who that is.But I've popped a few pointers to discuss with them, mainly the awful symptoms on both the T4, T3.

We I hope, will probably discuss alternative thyroid medication 🙏 one I will agree to after finding out its ingredients, members mentioned some thyroid medication, I've tried looking back at posts but can't find the names of the meds one I think began with V, I honestly can't remember the others 🤦‍♀️ can someone jog my memory because I will mention these thyroid meds at the appointment 🤦‍♀️.

I've also just received the gastro appointment.... Its a flipping phone call 😡... I'm not happy about that because how is he going to examine my stomach and intestines on the phone??

I will suggest he sees me face to face... Earn his wage💷

The endo appointment better not be a phone one😡😡😡😡

Hi,

It’s called Vencamil and used to be called Aristo and it’s dairy free levothyroxine tablets. I believe they only come in 100mcg tablets.

Thank you, I split the tablets any way so I could do that👍

Mine was a phone one, and he relied on blood results over a year old. He was determined to take away my T3, I was determined to have my T3 tested. He wrote afterwards with a paper saying how terrible T3 was, so I returned the favour and sent him 10 papers saying how good T3 is. He is phoning later this week. That should be interesting.

What is it with these endocrinologists and T3... 🤔 Mine as taken my T3 away.. Because of intolorance... But what her brain fails to recognise is I'm also intolorent to T4 ... So what does she put me back on T4.. 🤦‍♀️ She actually wrote in her report.. Intolerant to both T4 and T3.She went on a rant about the dangers of T3, and wrote in the report about the lack of good thyroid replacement by t3🤔 even when I told her, although I have an intolorance to it, at least it's restored my T3 to a better level something T4 never as. 🤷‍♀️ So going back on T4 with the intolorance will plummet my t3😡
