Done. Thank you for highlighting.

I like that sometimes they gave a chance to write something. I think a lot of surveys must get false results because they don't do that.

[helvella Administrator in reply to Obsdian]

I don't qualify so have not seen it.

Surveys absolutely MUST allow for all possibilities. If they don't you might not be able to answer honestly. And controlling options is how market research comes up with some absolute tripe - but says what they set out to hear!

"90% of those asked, prefer Brand XYZ!"

Prefer it to being slapped round the face with a fish.

And comments allow them to identify where there are issues.

as usual they only ask how you are NOW

Not how you were when left “correctly treated “ according to GP on grossly inadequate treatment

[keepmysamemedication]

Done. Thank you for drawing attention to it. I thought this was a good survey. I'm looking forward to seeing the results,

[nightingale-56]

Done. In a roundabout way, I managed to say that we were better treated in the past.

[Tina_Maria]

Completed the survey as well. Interesting questions and I will be interested in seeing the results.

Done but found it a bit confusing as my Hashimoto’s ( ie v.high TgAb only seen in private bloods) was not diagnosed as such by NHS till became overtly hypothyroid c.3 years after having complained to GP about symptoms, meanwhile also getting diabetes ( and attendant high cholesterol) and no periods, from c.1996. Though found no record that any female hormones were tested for about 5/6 years after initial problems…so difficult to say which symptoms went with what ailment. Don’t suppose I’m unusual for Hashi.
