Block & Replace refusal

[nooneimportant]

just thought id give a little update on my abysmal journey through thyroid land

The GP - having not acknowledged the concerns originally raised (you may remember I was suffering quite a bit with depression and various symptoms) marked my thyroid results as "no further action" to which I've received no further contact, I only know this as my results were online. The GP did however send the results to my endocrinologist (just didn't bother informing me of the results or ... well .... anything).

The endocrinologist has sent a letter to my GP to acknowledge the thyroid results and refuse the request (I sent via email) for the consideration for block and replace as he considers me now euthyroid and states I have not been able to tolerate the higher doses of carbimazole (anything above 10mg) and therefore could not be considered as a candidate. He did note in the letter to my GP that "she will not under any circumstances consider RAI".

I knew it was coming so therefore not disappointed. However, following this most recent lack of engagement from the GP I am now considering finding a new practise AGAIN. I am also considering not attending the appointment in August with the consultant as the letter states very clearly he's not interested in my health but only that of numbers produced, therefore it would be a waste of time attending.

I'll sleep on it .... the depression has eased recently but I have ballooned in size (I think in part due to water retention), I'm still sleeping much more and getting tingling in my hands, along with a few other things - but let's not concern the so called professionals with such silly matters like healthcare. 🙄🙄
