Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hi everyone. I stumbled across this group after seeing a link to the TPA website in a BBC article, and I'm hoping someone may be able to help or advise me. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in 1995, aged 22. Since then I have been on 150mg of levothyroxine every day. However I am still feeling fatigued; my face is still puffed up; I get pains in my legs and tingling in my feet; and I get everything going round the office (TWICE!) and have been unwell since the beginning of December alone with various coughs, colds, sniffles, flu and gastric problems. It seems my immune system just isn't there. To top it all I have absolutely zero faith in my GP after she reduced my thyroid medications and refused my B12 injections (I have also been diagnosed with pernicious anaemia) on the basis that my blood results were " high " (she also did this via the receptionist, over the phone, and then refused to speak to me about it! I had to contact the locum doctor at the practice and literally beg for a referral to an endochrinologist, who tested for 's, said I was OK, and sent me packing). I am so disillusioned with my doctor and just don't know where to turn any more. Can anyone help? I have seen information on Dr Peatfield's clinics. Can anyone recommend his work? Many thanks for any help or advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
