As my blood tests are 'normal' (TSH 2.5) I think I might try some supplements anyway.

Hi there DT. Glad to hear you're on the road to recovery. I saw Dr P about three years ago, following more than 20 years of Thyroid problems. It took some time and a few changes of medication before I started to show signs of improvement, but improve I did. The crux of my problem was Thyroxine resistance, something which orthodox practitioners refuse to acknowlege the existance of. I would positivley recommend Dr P to anyone out there with Thyroid problems.

Oh, this is so what I like to hear!!! TUK is working hard to try and change things. I'm off to a conference in Nottingham today to present our study and tell people about our new project (if we can get funding for it!). Watch this space! Lyn

Hi Lyn

TUK is wonderful, keep up the good work, we look forward to the day when recognition by the orthodox practitioners really kicks in.

Have we got any docs on this forum? Surely there's some with thyroid problems?

Glad to hear you are improving xx

Your story sounds similar to mine, I was diagnosed with m.e. several years ago, finally my TSH went outside their 'range' a few months ago, took thyroxine, made me worse, saw Dr Peatfield five weeks ago, started his protocol, no great improvement yet, but early days, and your story gives me hope.

Keep well.

Thanks for the good wishes and here's another ongoing saga......a friend of mine has taken thyroxine (200mg) for over 25 years and had been feeling awful for quite a time.......As she has vision problems I have taken her to Birmingham to see Dr Skinner twice (her choice.) He prescribed T3 slowly increasing the dose over 4 months and what a difference in her general health and outlook now! Although she's in her 70s she no longer feels as if she's on the medical scrapheap and is staring to enjoy her retirement!!! Hooray and thankyou doctors + her own GP who although a bit hesitant enabled this to happen.
