advice needed on what to do before appointment with endo

[Guest guest]

Hi can anyone tell me should i stop my medication, i am on 31/4 grains of armour, i am diagnosed hypo patient but not sure if I should change my meds before first consultation/ As i am sure i have seen on here some people do.Also I went into boots to find out if they were able to order my nhs funded prescription of armour and was told expected delivery date 4th February.. so looks like i might have it in the bag. Will let you know when its in my hand.I did mention last time that i was choking and gagging that has stopped but I am very cold again and wonder if it was a flare up and things have got worse I am going to increase my dose by a 1/4 of a grain tomorrow.

Dear Carol

If I can jump in at this late stage into the conversations you have been having with other ladies, all of whom have been very kind in trying to help you and say that firstly, I would not wish to alarm you because, hopefully, what I was going to suggest will not apply to you.

When you mentioned adrenal fatigue and sickness, I thought that primarily maybe you ought to see the doctor who could then bring forward your appointment with your endocrinologist.

When I was in hospital being treated for hypo symptoms, I became friends with a lady who had been treated for s disease and some of her symptoms were sickness on and off, tummy pain, low blood pressure and lose of weight.

Hopefully it is just a thought and as you are reading this you will be feeling much better, but did you take up on Sheila's suggestion to google "vomitting low adrenal reserve" which I thought was a good idea.

With this wretched life-long disease (hypothyroidism) we all have to be aware that, unfortunately, our health cannot always be stable, so sometimes we have to explore all avenues. Hope you are well again soon. Luv .
