I went to see my GP and had a surprise!

I went to see my GP yesterday and told him I was on Armour and I was not happy with my currrent Endocrinologist!! I told him that I thought he was a great doctor and his bedside manner was great and I respected him etc...the he said, "but"...I laughed and said you sensed it huh!! Well I told him I didnt think I was recieving the appropriate care and I wanted to feel well!
I told him I wanted to see a new specialist. I had one in mind through after looking up thyroid specialists on the internet.. Dr Franklyn I have heard good things about her and I am very keen to meet with her!
And this is why I know I have a good GP he thought it was a good idea that and made it happen. He is so very supportive. I just wish he had the balls to trial me on Armour or something else with out having to go through a specialist! Oh well
So on the 14th of January 2008, I have an appointment with her and hopefully will start to feel better after!

My thyroid progress

2 weeks on my new thyroid meds and Im staring to feel better. More Energy, more motivation. And a better outlook!! Its what you need isnt it.
All we ever want is to want to feel well. If someone or something took your health away from you, you would be pretty upset too! Especially when some fatcats have the power to give you your health back.
Im doing well. I am really taking positive huge steps. Im making videos to paste my face all over the net (you lucky people), I have made a website which will, when its complete be like a bible to us thyroid sufferers!
Dont worry Im not going anywhere Im here to fight for us all!

Well I said in my Video that I was going to wake up at 8:30am to phone my Doctor. Guess what? I never, I woke up at 2pm instead! I know, I know.. WHAT!!!! Yes 2pm thats ummm 6 hours after I had planned.

Waking up at a reasonable hour is getting quite difficult for me. I just cant do it at the moment.

I still plan on going to see my Doctor and asking for a second opinion but I will have to wait till next week now!

Yet another Saturday without much to do other than sleep and maybe work!

Today Im thinking about changing my Endocrinologist! He doesnt seem very interested in my condition.

Im thinking about getting a second opinion!! I want a doctor who is going to give me the time of day and who isnt afraid to trial me on other meds which may or may not help me!

I am a 26 year old guy who suffers with Hypothyroidsism, I am not getting the treatment I need off the NHS and Im sick and tired of being fobbed off!!
If you have not felt well since starting a thyroid replacement then this is the place for you!
I want to make everyone an "expert patient" and make the Doctors understand they dont know everything!
We need the correct treatment and we deserve to get it too!
