Dr's appointment today for Sheila

January 11, 2008

Hi Sheila,

thought I'd give you an update about today's appointment

today my left eye has been very swollen, the entire eyelid's very red

and painful like toothache in it.

anyway, I had an appointment to see a new GP, took my letter along.

The Dr I had booked with wasn't on, so saw Locum, thought to

myself " here we go again " anyway, I gave him the letter and he sat

and read it.

He has put me for a complete TSH blood test to include ft3/4 and

antibodies, but he did say that it was actualy up to the lab, which I

understood. However, he did put on the blood order that I have

actually been diagnosed as Hypothyroid but not on any medication. He

said, this may give them a kick in the right direction.

He has also tested me for ESR, glucose, cholesterol, heart, lungs,

littery everything.

I;ll post the results once I get them.

If I get prescribed thyroxine I'll have to speak to Dr P about

introducing it. I really hope it is the lack of hormones that is

causing my eye problems only having one eye and now it playing up in

the good one is a big worry, blurred vision and pain isn't nice.

The Dr did say that you can get sinus infections if you hypo. We;ll

see how this goes.
