Nurse phone call update

I put the results of my thyroid and cholesterol blood test result on here the other day and today I heard back from the nurse who said my Thyroid was fine “within the range” the usual thing. but my cholesterol was very high at 8 which I knew.

So, as always, just concentrating on my cholesterol levels.

My risk of a stroke or heart attack in the next 10 years has also gone up from 6 to 7 but as it’s below 10 I’m still low risk.

I argued yet again about thyroid and raised levels of cholesterol but she said “ “ there’s nothing wrong with your thyroid”

I told her I had been on here and the suggestion indicated that I was under medicated.

She then said “on what grounds do they think that” and I said my high cholesterol.

Any way she got very defensive and said she wasn’t going to argue with me and then I told her that I was going private.

The consultant Id like to see needs a GP referral, which I’ve asked for, and the nurse said, yes I see you asked for that and I will do it this afternoon.

I had to tell her of symptoms I was getting because I feel she doesn’t understand the thyroid/ raised cholesterol situation.

She has now made me feel that I’m getting neurotic about this and she really put my back up.

I didn’t mention an increase in levo to see if I that would bring my cholesterol down because I was so annoyed with her.

So I’m taking the private route and hopefully get this sorted.
