Hashimotos & perimenopausal. Recommendations for a doc/endo. I'm in Cornwall. Desperate.

Hi guys,

I'm really struggling. I think I need work related stress time off.

I'm exhausted,, emotional, depressed and overwhelmed when there is to much going on. I become a rabbit in the head lights and can't understand words sometimes. I'm finding my job extremely stressful and I can't switch off from it.

I haven't posted in quite sometime and haven't dealt with my health issues as I can just about cope with a work day and can't deal with any else in my life.

I had bloods done in March and I requested FT3 and peri/menopausal bloods. They were not done.

Results below. I'm on 5 grains NDT a day and have been for 5 years at least.

TSH - <0.008 miu/l (0.35-4.94)

FT4 - 12 pmol/L (9.00-19.00)

serum :

vit B12 - 516 ng/L (190.00-883)

folate- 9 ng/mL (3.10-20.50)

ferritin - 47.1 ug/L (15.00-200.00)

HbA1c - 33 mmol/mol (20-41)

Any help/suggestions greatly received.

TIA everyone

As you are requesting information on doctors I will have to lock this post. Please do start a new post for further recommendations re blood results.

As requested replies with any information by Private Message (Chat) only as we are not allowed to discuss sources or doctors in the group. This post will be closed to further replies.

You are advised to get full thyroid profile bloods done to include TSH, FT4 & FT3 + vitamins ferritin, folate, B12 & D3 and antibodies before your appointment to avoid wasting your first visit.
