Write to the doctor, List your signs and symptoms and ask for a referral to a specialist of your choice. As the doctor is failing to manage your thyroid symptoms and he is General Practitioner it would seem that sending you to a specialist is the obvious thing for him to do.

Say that you are concerned that you have a recurring problem,

Send a copy of your letter to the doctor and one copy to the head of practice asking for it to be added to your records. This way if you are left untreated and it all goes wrong, there is a record of your request.

Good luck
