What Next??

[Guest guest]

Hi all

I am currently taking 150 thyroxine. I was initially ok on this dose

but it was short lived and now all symptoms are returning. I am

exhausted after the school run and can barely manage the stairs to my

office. I also have aching, feet mainly, but if i hold any position

for long it aches.I have hip bursitis which is worse, my

breathlessness is also returning and i have a lumpy throat and dense

brain fog. After wrangling with my doc over which specialist to see i

got to go to the thyroid clinic. I don't know what the results were

of all the tests, but after phoning to chase. i am told she has

written telling me and my gp that they were " normal " ,(she'll love

that). But she has recommended a small increase in thyroxine. I am

not convinced this will do any good,and am disappointed as the dr

told me she would ring me, so i had ready a list of questions i will

not now be able to ask until May 14th. I bought some armour a few

weeks ago, but held off for the test results. not sure wether i

should give the increase a chance or go it alone. I will post results

if or when get i them. I am also having an ultrasound next week for

the lumpy throat. I really don't want to waste more time going

backwards and forwards begging and pleading with dr's, feeling that

they are sneering at me and thinking i am a nutcase.

Any thought appreciated.

Ali,

For what it's worth I'm in pretty much the place as you (150mcg and

getting nowhere)and I'm not a nutcase either!

Let us know what you decide and good luck!
