A lovely member mentioned the UK thyroid site to me, about looking for a endocrinologist who as knowledge of intolorences to thyroid medication, or who is just more knowledgeable than the ones I've seen these last 4 years .I know it's a list, can anyone direct me as to how I access it.
Thank you ❤️
Could this be what you're looking for thyroiduk.org/contact-us/ge...
Thank you, I've downloaded the contents but there are only 2 that are within travel for me, the other ones are.. London, Birmingham, Dublin and Edinburgh, Kent and so on.The 2 i could travel to are Preston and Liverpool.
There are none for Cumbria or Newcastle, Hexham ect😔
Anyone seen a good endocrinologist 🤷♀️ (private message me) ❤️
You can email info@thyroiduk.org for the list.
Suggest you pick a couple then post asking for feedback by personal message. That post will be locked to prevent information being posted in the group.
Thank you, there's non within my area (Cumbria) 2 I could travel to Liverpool, Preston, the other are London, Kent, Oxford way down the country, Birmingham, Dublin, Edinburgh, then Yorkshire, I wouldn't mind travelling, but in a day from Cumbria to London ect that's going some, I lived in London it was hell 😬
Read the list carefully and check out if someone you might be interested offers virtual consultations. That should open up a lot more possibilities.
👍 Good thinking☎️ thank you👏
several do consultations online
So you don’t need to travel
Yeah, never thought about that, I only hope they can understand my concerns, obviously I'd like them to see what I'm actually passing (photos) , and the rash I get on my arms when taking the thyroid medication 👍Been on the T4 since Sunday, last night my lips swelled up, look like I'd gotten lip fillers, some women would have killed for them🤭.. They've since gone down slightly today, but I've got big splits in the corners there really sore now🤦♀️
but I've got big splits in the corners there really sore now
That’s typical of low B12
What vitamin supplements are you taking
Obviously take digital photos of everything
Yeah got digital photos of the 💩 am passing, and the blebs on my arms.. I've been trying to stomach vit D along with the thyroid medication but as you know I pass it through (diarrhoea) my B12 as not been tested since 2020 when it was 316 I think) I know it was low because the top end was 700.Tried the better you spray B12 but again couldn't stomach it.
One gp suggested B12 injections but that was put on the back burner, I enquire again late last year but no gp would help. 🤦♀️
make an appointment or email GP with list of low B12 symptoms

Request they test B12 and folate now
Highly effective B12 drops
Have you tried these?

Or
B12 sublingual lozenges

B12 range in U.K. is too wide
Interesting that in this research B12 below 400 is considered inadequate

Low folate
supplementing a good quality daily vitamin B complex, one with folate in (not folic acid)
This can help keep all B vitamins in balance and will help improve B12 levels too
Difference between folate and folic acid

B vitamins best taken after breakfast
Thorne Basic B recommended vitamin B complex that contains folate, but they are large capsules. (You can tip powder out if can’t swallow capsule)
Thorne currently difficult to find at reasonable price, should be around £20-£25. iherb.com often have in stock. Or try ebay
Igennus B complex popular option too. Nice small tablets. Most people only find they need one per day. But a few people find it’s not high enough dose
Post discussing different B complex

IMPORTANT......If you are taking vitamin B complex, or any supplements containing biotin, remember to stop these 7 days before ALL BLOOD TESTS , as biotin can falsely affect test results
endo.confex.com/endo/2016en...
endocrinenews.endocrine.org...
In week before blood test, when you stop vitamin B complex, you might want to consider taking a separate folate supplement (eg Jarrow methyl folate 400mcg) and continue separate B12
