Hi Renny

The impression I get is that the drug companies are too ready to look after the doctors who peddle their wares. I wonder if the General Medical Council is aware of these doctors putting our health second to such offers and leaving us so ill that in the end, we are left with having no doctor able to cope with our illness so we have to self diagnose, self medicate and self monitor. It might be an interesting exercise.

Re: Buprenorphine (Temgesic)

Hi Sheila,Thanks for that. I'ts interesting that it appears many of my problems may be down to Thyriod. The doctors I have to deal with have got me on every drug possible when they could be saving themselves time and money by doing a few correct tests and diagnosing the 'REAL' problem. If they ever do find it is my Thyroid that is behind everything I think I will then have to check in to the Priory to get off all the other drugs I have been put on! It seems that a doctor will sling you the latest pill on the market probably because he has been told to 'reach targets' and shift a few units of the latest wonder drug. Well that's the impression I get anyway!.All the best Renny

HI Renny

I posted a bunch of references yesterday afternoon on the forum and these were to show the connection between depression and thyroid, and how thyroid hormone replacement takes away the depression. There were references showing that hypothyroidism is often a cause of depression. Print it off and take it to your doctor and ask him to check them out.

Hi Sheila,Yes you are right about that, I often wonder if the docs are under pressure to 'shift' as many of the latest 'in vogue' drugs as possible. When Prozac became trendy my GP was more like a salesman in that he would hardly accept that I didnt really want them. Of course they were supposed to cure my fatigue and needless to say they did nothing of the sort! I was then told to double the dose which I said I would but didnt, he was very put out when I eventually told him I hadnt doubled the dose. Now I am on Mirtazapine which help with my anxiety and help me sleep but do nothing for fatigue. Funnily he is no longer pushing Prozac.Yes I agree with him when he says that once I am settled into a new home (following my divorce) things should get better but I still know that something is causing my fatigue and it ain't stress, depression or anything else the docs may fob me off with. As with many people, I know how I am supposed to feel, and know my body so, whe n my GP keeps saying that depression causes the fatigue I know he is 100% wrong. I wasn't depressed when it started. The trouble is, doctors don't like smart Alec's and people who can think for themselves. I am not trying to tell him how to do his job, just trying to get a life!Hope everyone is ok out there.Love Renny
