Hi All,
I looking for advice again!
After being ill over Christmas and convinced it was my medication, coming off everything bar my 100mg Levothyroxine, symptoms didn't improve. My GP thought I had Sjorgrens, I've been told CREST too, only to find out in a call from an RA Consultant on Monday which i had seen last year that none of these are the case. However, after throat scans I've now been told that my Thyroid has atrophied and now very small😳I was first told in the early 80's I had an erratic thyroid, that being said a number of times over the years. I had big pregnancy and getting pregnant problems, unexplained weight gain, hair breaking etc, etc. Medication only being offered 4yrs ago. I had a full Thyroid test done privately after following a link on here and was all geared up to telling my GP I DO need meds upping after getting advice on here; But this new information has blown me away as this can happen with auto immune disease and when Thyroid issues left untreated over a number of years! Although I've googled till eyes fell out, anyone have any advice on next step I should take with GP please? I've previously asked to be referred to an Endocrinologist but was ignored. Always being told I'm in range! Would only an Endo prescribe T3 too? I need to be fully ready with info for GP as by own admission doesn't know much about Thyroid 😵💫
Thanks in advance xx
