Supportive Doctor

I’m looking to find out if anyone has actually managed to find a doctor that is helpful and supportive for people who have Hashimotos (high TPOAb) but “normal” thyroid labs? I am struggling with a whole host of symptoms everyday, weight gain that won’t shift, migraines with aura, bloating, joint pain, fatigue. I have spoken to a couple of GPs at my practice, and a private consultant. I just keep getting told to come back in 6 months for more tests. All I want to know is how to support my body and get back on a more even keel, but I don’t know where to go to find that kind of help.

And have you had coeliac blood test yet

Retest thyroid 2-3 months after cutting gluten out

Here’s link for how to request Thyroid U.K.list of private Doctors emailed to you, but within the email a link to download list of recommended thyroid specialist endocrinologists

Ideally choose an endocrinologist to see privately initially and who also does NHS consultations

Thanks, I’ve seen a private endocrinologist and they were no help. Looking to find out if people have actually had any positive experiences and genuine support at the stage I’m at.
