About 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! If you would like to Email me, please feel free, I like talking to people with Thyroid disease. Ric@Thyroidhelp.org

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!
