Update on seeing private doc.

[Guest guest]

Hi Sheila and All,

Here is current instalment on hopefull road to recovery. I have been on the levo since Feb 2007 as you may remember and as I was experiencing so many bad symptoms still I eventualy went to see doctor D. I got the 24hr urine test back and it showed I was slightly over replaced. Had slightly upped the dose myself since the GP's blood test which showed under replaced you might remember. So I suppose that was no surprise. The GP's antibodies test came back showing definately autoimmune. Private blood test taken last week for blood elements and sensitivity to metals. Just wanted a magic wand I suppose . Hoped he would say "you need Armour " full stop. Do you have any experience of how many tests would be gone through before we could get to this stage? All my clothes are tight with the weight gain and it realy is getting to me.

I have had three days leave this week and just been eating out (healthily)and light shopping each day with my daughter. This shows me very much how little energy I have feeling completely knackered after only being on my for feet for a relatively short while.

Luv

Stephie T
